Study Notes
Introduction to Colorants and Their Applications
- Colorants are used in various industries such as cloth, paints, plastics, photographs, and ceramics.
- Functional colorants are now being used in novel applications for specific purposes beyond aesthetics, such as in surgery.
- Colorants can be classified as dyes or pigments.
- Dyes are soluble, colored organic compounds applied to textiles from a water solution, designed to bond strongly to the polymer molecules in the textile fiber.
- Pigments are insoluble compounds applied using dispersion in a suitable medium.
- The color of dyed and printed textile fiber materials is determined by the molecules of the organic compounds called dyes.
- The color of textile materials in white light depends on which incident light waves are absorbed and reflected from the dye molecules within the polymer system.
