INTRODUCTION
• Acid dyes are water-soluble anionic dyes.
• Acid dyes are applied primarily to fibers such as
wool, silk and nylon.
• Normally they dye from an acid dyebath.
• Chemically the acid dyes consist of azo (including
metal complex azo), anthraquinone, azine,
triarylmethane, xanthane, ketonimine, nitro and
nitroso compounds.
• The color range is complete, many dyes being very
bright, although the metal-complex types are
relatively dull.
• All acid dyes can be grouped in three sub groups:-
acid levelling, acid milling and pre-metalized acid
dyes
Acid Levelling Dyes
• Also known as equalizing dyes, these dyes produce
bright dyeing.
• good leveling properties.
• These dyes are easy to apply because they have a
relatively small molecular size and they are readily
soluble in water.
• These properties allow these dyes to diffuse and
migrate easily through the inner parts of the fibers and
level dyeing is readily attained.
• They are dyed from a dyebath containing strong acids
(sulphuric or formic acid).
• These dyes exhibit low wash and light fastness.

Acid Milling Dyes
• These dyes are made of larger molecules
than those of the acid leveling dyes and
• require only a weak acid (e.g. acetic acid)
or acid releasing salts (ammonium sulphate
or ammonium acetate).
• These dyes exhibit high light fastness and
are extensively used for dyeing woolen
fabrics.
• These dyes require great care in application
because uneven dyeing.

Pre-metalized Acid Dyes (Metal Complex
Dyes)
• These dyes represent an extension of mordant
dyes.
• The metal component being already incorporated
in the dye during manufacturing process.
• These dyes usually contain a Cr3+ ion (some
contain a cobalt ion) bonded with dye molecules
by ionic and coordinate bonds (1:1 complex or 2:1
complex).
• Very good light fastness even in pale shades.

The Structure of Wool (In Relating to Dyeing)
• Wool is a protein material made up of about twenty amino
acids linked together by PEPTIDE links to give
POLYPEPTIDE chains.
• The side chain (the functional R group), is mainly
responsible for the dyeing properties of the fiber. This side
chains vary markedly in chemical nature and size and may
be hydrophilic, hydrophobic or acidic.
