Reactive Dyes

Reactive dyes are a group of colored organic substances that are primarily used for tinting textiles. They attach themselves to their substrates by a chemical reaction, forming a covalent bond between the molecule of dye and that of the fiber. Hence, the dyestuff becomes a part of the fiber and has low possibility to be removed by washing than the dyestuffs that adhere by adsorption.

The reactive dyes were designed for cellulose fibers for the very first time, and are still used in this way in most cases. Fiber Reactive Dyes are also commercially available for protein and polyamide fibers. Theoretically, these dyes have been developed for other fibers, but practically they are not yet commercial. The reactive dyes contain a reactive group, which when applied to a fiber in a weak alkaline dye bath, formulates a chemical bond with it. These dyes can also be used to dye wool and nylon. In the case of nylon, they are applied under weakly acidic conditions.

The vital characteristic of the reactive dyes, is the formulation of covalent bonds with the substrate to be colored. These dyes form a chemical bond with cellulose, which is the main component of cotton fibers.

These fiber reactive dyes are the most permanent of all types of dyes. Unlike other dyes, these reactive dyes form a covalent bond with the cellulose or protein molecule. Once this bond is formed, a whole molecule is formed, as the dye molecule has become a part of the cellulose fiber molecule. Hence, garments that have been dyed in bright fiber reactive colors, can be safely washed with white clothing, a number of times, without damaging the whites. In comparison to all the other dyes, these reactive dyes chemically bind to the textile fibers, which significantly improves the product's colour stability and wash ability. Thus, reactive dying of cotton is presently the most widely used textile dying process in the world.
