Cold Water Dye
This a range of textile dyes which are used at low temperatures. They are reactiveReactive dye
In a reactive dye a chromophore contains a substituent that is activated and allowed to directly react to the surface of the substrate. Reactive dyes have good fastness properties owing to the bonding that occurs during dyeing....
