Everything You Need to Know About Dyes And Pigments

Nov. 05, 2021

The main application of dyes and pigments is to provide colour to materials, whether they are textiles or paints. While dyes are soluble in media such as water, pigments must be converted into a coarser powder and then mixed with a dispersant before use. The differences between the properties of dyes and pigments lead to very different uses. On the one hand, dyes are mainly used in the textile and paper markets, while pigments are used in industries such as colouring paints, inks, cosmetics and plastics.

 

Although the application of both dyes and pigments is to impart colour to materials, there are significant differences in the materials to which they can be applied and in the way they act. Dyes can be used with dye solutions (dyes dissolved in water) or directly, depending on the chemical composition of the dye and the material being dyed. An important part of any dyeing process is therefore finding a material to which the dye can adhere.

Dye intermediates are organic compounds or mixtures and downstream products of petroleum. After further synthesis, they can be used in textiles, paints, plastics, paper, printing inks, and leather.

1-Nitroanthraquinone, molecular formula C14H7NO4, can be used to produce dye intermediates such as 1-aminoanthraquinone, 1-hydroxyanthraquinone, 1,5- and 1,8-dinitroanthraquinone, and can also be used to produce 1- Aminoanthraquinone, 1,5- and 1,8-dinitroanthraquinone.

 

The pigment cannot be applied directly to the material. It must consist of at least two parts, but often more parts are used, often called the pigment and the carrier. The third part usually used is called the Thinner. each of the components involved has a different function. The carrier is responsible for bringing the pigment to the surface, while if the carrier is too viscous and therefore difficult to apply on the surface, a thinner is used. Once a mixture of the three has been applied, the thinner evaporates quickly and what remains is evenly distributed over the surface.
