Study Notes
Basic Dyes
- Basic dyes are also known as cationic dyes, which act as a base when made soluble in water, forming a colored cationic salt that reacts with anionic sites on the surface of a substrate.
- They have less hydrophilic groups, making them insoluble in water, and require alcohol or acetic acid to dissolve, followed by dilution with water.
- Basic dyes are sensitive to temperature, so both the dissolution-dilution and dye-bath temperatures should not be too high.
Chemical Structure of Basic Dyes
- The chemical structure of basic dyes includes aromatic methane, triarylmethane, azo type, and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds (such as xanthene, oxazine, and thiazine).
Key Terms for Color Generation
- Chromophore: the part of the molecule responsible for absorbing visible light and giving the dye its color, including azo groups, conjugated imine groups, and heterocyclic rings.
- Auxochrome: functional groups that influence properties like solubility, ionization, and color intensity or shade, including amino groups, alkylamino groups, and dialkylamino groups.
Advantages of Basic Dyes
- Moderate substantivity
- Relatively economical
- High tinctorial strength
- Wide shade range
- Good brightness
- Includes some of the most brilliant synthetic dyes
Applications of Basic Dyes
- Extensively used for dyeing jute, silk, wool, coir, acrylic fibers, leathers, paper, and dried flowers
Limitations of Basic Dyes
- Poor shade stability
- Poor lightfastness
- High acid content
- Colored backwaters
- Preferential dyeing
- Toxic in nature, requiring safety precautions
Modified Basic Dyes
- Have longer molecular structures than conventional basic dyes
- Still cationic in nature, but exhibit improved fiber coverage and substantivity
- Advantages over conventional basic dyes include better lightfastness, clear backwaters, and excellent substantivity.
