Different Types Of Modern Textile Dyes And Pigments

Dyeing is a process of adding color to different textile products such as fiber, yarns and fabric. The effects of color dyes on a cloth can be obtained from a solution that contains dye and certain chemical materials. Textile Dyes can be classified as Natural And Man-Made Dyes.

Difference Between Natural Dyes And Man Made Dyes

Natural Dyes are extracted from animals and plants and are generally non toxic in nature. On the contrary, artificial dye is used to achieve a broader range of colors and also renders a more stable dye on a cloth. The use of a particular type of dye usually depends on the yarn and the type of cloth as well. For Example: Acrylic Fiber is generally dyed with basic dyes, while nylon and protein fibers are dyed with acid dyes.
