Description
A water-soluble synthetic dye that reacts with molecular groups in a fiber to form a covalent bond. For example, a fiber-reactive dye with an azo group can bind to the hydroxyl groups in cellulose. Reactive dyes were first discovered in 1954 by Rattee and Stephens at ICI and they were marketed as Procion dyes in 1956. Since then, over one hundred varieties have been patented. Fiber reactive dyes have bright colors that are both lightfast and washfast. They are most commonly used on Cellulose fibers but also react with the hydroxyl or amino groups found in Wool, Silk, Nylon, Acrylic, and Acetate fibers.
Synonyms and Related Terms
fiber reactive dyes; fiber-reactive dyes; fibre-reactive dyes (Br.); colorante reactivo (Esp.); corante reactivo (Port.)
Examples include: Procion [ICI]; Cibacron [Ciba-Geigy]; Drimarene
Physical and Chemical Properties
Soluble in water and some organic solvents.
