Dyes Are Manufactured
 Understand Manufacturing Process of Dyes

• Before we understand how dyes are manufactured, let’s know the difference
between dyes and pigments. Though the words are used interchangeably, they
aren’t the same thing.

• A dye is essentially soluble at some stage of the application process. The

pigment, on the other hand, retains its crystalline or particulate form throughout
the application.

• The application is a dye is to impart color to the substance. The chemical

structure of the atoms of the dye is an aromatic ring structure. The side chain of
the ring causes resonance, and the color gets released.

• Chromogen is the atomic structure which is the primary coloring substance.

Based on chromogen, the chemical classification is done for dyes.
 Manufacturing Process

• Dyes are synthesized in a reactor. They are filtered and dried first. Then the dyes
are blended with other additives.

• Sulfonation, halogenation, amination, and diazotization reactions make the

synthesis step. After that, the separation process is performed using distillation,
precipitation and crystallization processes.

• A dye mixture is formed by mixing the resultant of a chemical reaction between

organic compound and alkali or acid. It is added to an intermediate solution,
typically a sulfonating or nitrating compound.

• Finally, it is added to a solvent, and the dye mixture is obtained. The dye is
separated, filtered and purified.

• The finishing operations include drying, grinding and standardization.

 Types of Dyes and their Composition

• Based on the main ingredients, the dyes are classified into various categories:

• Acid dyes: These dyes are made from acetic acid, sulphuric acid. When the
acids and sodium sulfate and surfactants cause a chemical reaction with
amphoteric proteins, different shades of colors are obtained.

• Basic dyes: Here, acetic acid and softening agents along with amino derivatives
cause chemical reactions to form different dyes. These dyes are mainly used in
the paper industry.

• Direct dyes: For cotton-wool or cotton-silk combination, azo dyes are used.
They are combinations of chrome and copper compounds (metallic agents),
fixing agents and sodium salts.
