anthraquinone dyes

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

Dyes that have anthraquinone as their base and the carbonyl group (>C=O) as the chromophore. Anthraquinone-based dyes are found in most of the synthetic dye classes.

developed dyes

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

Dyes that are formed by the use of a developer. The substrate is first dyed in a neutral solution with a dye base, usually colorless. The dye is then diazotized with sodium ...

aniline dyes

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

Dyes derived chemically from aniline or other coal tar derivatives.

azo dyes

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

Dyes characterized by the presence of an azo group (-N=N-) as the chromophore. Azo dyes are found in many of the synthetic dye classes.

exhaustion

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

During wet processing, the ratio at any time between the amount of dye or substance taken up by the substrate and the amount originally available.

pressure dyeing

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

Dyeing by means of forced circulation of dye through packages of fiber, yarn, or fabric under superatmospheric pressure.
