METHOD OF COLOURATION

DIRECT DYEING DYEING WITH SOLUBLE PRECURSOR OF THE DYE DIRECT DYEING FOLLOWED BY CHEMICAL REACTION ADHESSION OF THE DYE OR PIGMENT BY USING AN APPROPRIATE BINDER

WHAT IS REACTIVE DYE?

IT IS A SYNTHETIC DYE WHICH CHEMICALLY REACTS WITH CELLULOSIC FIBRE TO FORM COVALENT BOND AND BECOMES A PART OF FIBRE.
