History• Cyanuric chloride reaction with cotton and then amines• Remazol (vinyl sulphone) chemistry intorduced• 1956 Rattee + Stephen (ICI) “first” reactive dyes
– chlorotriazines• Various developments – including new chemical types• 1980’s Mixed bifunctional dyes (esp. Sumitomo – Sumifix Supra
dyes)
General Features of a Reactive Dye Molecule
W = water solubilising groupD = chromophoreB = bridging groupRG = reactive groupX = leaving group

Advantages?• Full Colour Gamut• Brilliant, bright colours• Colvalent fixation high WashFastness (WF)• Varying reactivities
– Various temperaturesincluding low energy (cold dyeing)
• Various methods of application• Inexpensive to apply (but dyes expensive)
Disadvantages?
• Incomplete fixation (problem with hydrolysis)• Need for wash-off (for high WF)• Need for high concentrations of salt
– Affect natural balance of watercourses• High pH• Some dyes are “AOX” – potentially harmful to
the environment

• Loss of colour fading problems
• Transfer of colorants to “adjacent” fabrics leads to staining problems
• NB some of the WF tests have got tougher!
The major issuesThe major issues
Importance of Washing Fastness (WF) Importance of Washing Fastness (WF)
Poor wash fastness
Laundry washing
5
During the laundry process the fabric is subjected to some severe conditions and very often dye is “beaten” from the
fabric.
This results in dye entering the washing liquors.
Once in the washing liquors 3 things can happen to the dye...
1. Re-adsorb onto original fibre
2. Adsorb to a different substrate
3. Remain in the wash liquor

Factors that affect the dyeing of cotton with reactive dyes

Factors Influencing the Performance of Reactive Dyes
• Molecular structure of Dye– Number of reactive groups– Chemical nature of reactive groups– Molecular mass (size)– Number of sulphonic acid groups– Ratio of sulphonic acid groups to aromatic carbons
• hydrophobic – hydrophilic balance– Linear / planar structure (shape)– Other functional groups present– Realtive positions of functional groups (incl. reactive groups)
Plus characteristics and quantity of impurities / additives
7
Factors Influencing the Performance of Reactive Dyes
• Material being dyed– Chemical type (assume cellulosic)– (Macro) physical structure (yarn, fabric, garment)– (Micro) physical structure (crystallinity vs
amorphous)– Material preparation or damage prior to coloration
• Exposure to physical, chemical and biological agents
PrePre--treatmenttreatment
PrePre--treatment is crucial to a dyer if he wants to achieve righttreatment is crucial to a dyer if he wants to achieve right--firstfirst--time dyeings. After pretime dyeings. After pre--treatment he can trust his fabrictreatment he can trust his fabric..
It is easy to appreciate that what happens to the fabric before It is easy to appreciate that what happens to the fabric before dyeing will affect dyeing itself !dyeing will affect dyeing itself !
PrePre--treatment for cotton treatment for cotton principally involves: principally involves:

Definition of scour: To remove natural impurities, dirt or grease from (cloth or fibers) by means of a detergent.
Factors Influencing the Performance of Reactive Dyes
• Application conditions– Quality of the water employed– Temperature programme employed– pH programme employed (incl type + conc of alkali)– Electrolyte programme employed– Any other additives/chemicals present (eg. Auxiliaries)– Liquor to materials ratio (LR)– Chemical (incl Dye) addition programme employed– Agitation / liquor circulation method– Time – at each stage
[Rinse/Wash/After treatment conditions are also important]

Factors Influencing the Performance of Reactive Dyes
• Application conditions – the “Human Factor”– You may not be using an optimum method– Do you / your operatives actually do what you say you do?
– Try to identify real / potential problem areas, for example:• Volume of water used (LR). Why?
• Housekeeping• Use of Chemicals (dyes, electrolyte, alkali, auxiliaries)
• Temperature (including storing/dissolving dyes)
• Time
