Description
Chemically synthesized organic colorants. The first synthetic Dye, Mauve was made in 1856 by Sir William H. Perkin, an English scientist. Early synthetic dyes were not readily accepted because there were application difficulties. However, the advantages of synthetic dyes, mainly clarity and lower production cost, were responsible for their eventual popularity.
Synthetic dyes, of which there are over ten thousand, are generally categorized into groups based on their reactivity, their solubility and their method of application.
For more information see entries on the following: Acid dye; Aniline dye; Anthraquinone dye; Azo dye; Basic dye; Vat dye; Developed dye; Direct dye; Disperse dye; Fiber-reactive dye; Metallized dye; Naphthol dye; Premetallized dye; Sulfur dye
Synonyms and Related Terms
