Q
difference between pigment dye and reactive dye
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Pigment dyes and reactive dyes are both used in coloring fabrics but differ significantly. Pigment dyes are insoluble and adhere to the fabric surface through a binder, making them less durable and prone to fading over time. They are easier to apply and suitable for a wide range of fibers but offer less vibrant colors. On the other hand, reactive dyes chemically bond with fiber molecules, resulting in vivid colors that are more wash-fast and durable. They are primarily used with cellulose fibers like cotton and require a more complex dyeing process involving a higher temperature and a neutral or alkaline pH. Reactive dyes are preferred for their colorfastness and vibrancy but are typically more expensive and time-consuming to apply compared to pigment dyes.
