These are basically mixed bi-functional reactive dyes group, which is linked to chromophore via a monochloro triazine group. This type of dyes are usually applicable for dyeing of cellulosic material at 60oC temperature.
Following are some of the features of Bi-functional Dyes:-
- They have excellent leveling properties.
- Dye-fibre bond formed between cellulose & Vinyl Sulphone group remains stable to acid hydrolysis, which helps in the stability of goods which are dyed in the industrial acidic atmosphere.
- These dyes have good fastness properties. These are applicable for cellulosic materials by dyeing & printing methods.
- They have better reproducibility in dyeing; have high fixation & exhaustion efficiency.
