  2. Colour fastness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_fastness

    [1] [2] The term is usually used in the context of clothes. In general, clothing should be tested for colour fastness before using bleach or other cleaning products. [3] Lightfastness, wash fastness, and rub fastness are the main forms of colour fastness that are standardized. The light fastness of textile dye is categorized from one to eight ...

  3. Blue Wool Scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Wool_Scale

    [1] [2] The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists pioneered the work on these test methods and together with the ASTM D13 committee. [3] Normally two identical dye samples are created. One is placed in the dark as the control and the other is placed in the equivalent of sunlight for a three-month period. A standard bluewool ...

  4. Lightfastness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightfastness

    In grey scale the lightfastness is rated between 1–5. 1 being very poor and 5 being excellent lightfastness. [1] [2] [10] On ASTM scale the lightfastness is rated between I-V. I is excellent lightfastness and it corresponds to ratings 7–8 on Blue Wool Scale. V is very poor lightfastness and it corresponds to Blue Wool scale rating 1. [10]

    (NCCl) 3 + dye-NH 2 → N 3 C 3 Cl 2 (NHdye) + HCl. The resulting dichlorotriazine can then be affixed to the cellulose fibre by displacement of one of the two chloride groups: [citation needed] N 3 C 3 Cl 2 (NHdye) + HO-cellulose → N 3 C 3 Cl(NHdye)(O-cellulose) + HCl. The fixation process is conducted in a buffered alkaline dye bath ...

  6. Anthraquinone dyes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthraquinone_dyes

    Anthraquinone itself is colourless, but red to blue dyes are obtained by introducing electron donor groups such as hydroxy or amino groups in the 1-, 4-, 5- or 8-position. [1] Anthraquinone dyestuffs are structurally related to indigo dyestuffs and are classified together with these in the group of carbonyl dyes .

  7. Acid dye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dye

    They require an acidic dye bath, often using sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate mixtures (pH2-4), [7] together with leveling agents such as ethoxylated fatty amines. Milling dyes: These dyes are high molecule weight, with the result that migrates slowly. Consequently, they exhibit wet fastness, which is useful for dyeing wool materials.

  8. Dye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dye

    [1] A dye is a colored substance that chemically bonds to the material to which it is being applied. This distinguishes dyes from pigments which do not chemically bind to the material they color. Dye is generally applied in an aqueous solution and may require a mordant to improve the fastness of the dye on the fiber. [2]

  9. Color chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_chart

    A color chart or color reference card is a flat, physical object that has many different color samples present. They can be available as a single-page chart, or in the form of swatchbooks or color-matching fans. Typically there are two different types of color charts: Color reference charts are intended
