Factors that affect the dyeing<br />

of cotton with reactive dyes<br />

Cotton<br />

Pre-treatment<br />

Auxiliaries<br />

<strong>Reactive</strong> dye<br />

Dyebath (liquor ratio/flow)<br />

Method:<br />

eg.Temperature and duration<br />

of dyeing<br />

Factors Influencing the Performance<br />

of <strong>Reactive</strong> <strong>Dyes</strong><br />

• Molecular structure of Dye<br />

– Number of reactive groups<br />

– Chemical nature of reactive groups<br />

– Molecular mass (size)<br />

– Number of sulphonic acid groups<br />

– Ratio of sulphonic acid groups to aromatic carbons<br />

• hydrophobic – hydrophilic balance<br />

– Linear / planar structure (shape)<br />

– Other functional groups present<br />

– Realtive positions of functional groups (incl. reactive groups)<br />

Plus characteristics and quantity of impurities / additives<br />
