Dyes of cellulosic fabrics
Dyeing cellulosic fabrics (such as cotton, linen, rayon, and bamboo) requires dyes
that can bond effectively with plant-based fibers. The most commonly used dye
types for cellulosic fabrics include:

1.Reactive Dyes
2. Direct Dyes
3.Vat Dyes
4. Sulfur Dyes
5. Natural Dyes
6. Azoic Dyes
Direct Dyes
•They are used mainly on cellulosic fibre.
•They are easily applied on cellulosic fabric and directly dyed from simple solution.
•Direct dyes are also called substantive dyes because of their excellent substantivity for
cellulosic textile materials like cotton and viscose rayon.
•This class of dyes derives its name from its property of having direct affinity for
cellulosic fibres, when applied from an aqueous solution.

Advantages
•Easiest to produce
•Simplest to apply
•Cheaper
•Ease of application
Disadvantages of Direct Dye
•Few Direct Dyes have low light fastness.
•Many Direct Dyes are dull in color.
•Direct Dyes provide duller color than the color provided by the fiber reactive dyes.
•The wash fastness quality is also low.

Procedure
These dyes follow a very simple method of application to cotton fibre. It just involves:
•Dissolution of dyes in water.
•Soaking the material into the dye solution.
•Salt is added to dyeing solution.
•Raise the temp. slowly. Start with 40 ⁰c and increase the temp. from 40 to slowly –slowly
80⁰c-120⁰ c.
•Once the dyeing is completed, rinse the fabric thoroughly with water.
Reactive Dyes
Reactive dyes are organic dyes that are used to color cellulose, protein, and polyamide
fibers. They are a common choice for the textile industry because they are durable,
colorfast, and can be applied to a variety of materials.

Reactive dyes form a covalent bond with the fiber, making them an integral part of the
fabric.
This covalent bond gives reactive dyes good fastness properties, meaning they are
resistant to washing and light.
Reactive dyes can be used on a variety of materials, including cotton, silk, and wool.
Napthal Dyes
Naphthol dyes are a type of azoic dye that forms color inside the fabric instead of in a
dye bath.
It is widely used for dyeing cotton, rayon, and cellulose fibers but not suitable for wool
or silk.
This dyeing method produces bright, fast colors, often used in traditional block printing
and batik designs.

Procedure
Naphthol Treatment – The fabric is soaked in a naphthol solution, then squeezed and
dried slightly.
Diazo Salt Application – The fabric is dipped in a diazo solution, where it reacts and
develops color inside the fibers.
Washing & Fixing – The fabric is washed to remove excess chemicals
