WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF SOLVENT DYES?

Behind any beautifully dyed applications, there is always going to be a smart manufacturing skill that will
ever bring an original look and feel to related sources belonging to individual usages or technical
purposes. Colors that are made within their core efficacy and strength are the ones to grab much
visibility and industrys reputation.


Solvent Dyes
Solvent dyes are the dyes that are solvable within organic solvents and are mainly used as a solution in
natural solvents. They are water insoluble. When manufactured, they do not probably form any residues
or films. Consequent to their strong dissolving nature in organic solvents, they are the best in color
quality, durability with a dynamic enhancement of color combinations.
With solvent dyes being non-polar or minor polar in atomic composition, they would certainly prevent
any chances of ionization on applied surfaces, steadily detaching the irons that are to be formed due to
overheat or electrical or chemical reactions on them. Sometimes, they are also soluble in non-polar
solutions owing to the granular re-disposition. Solvent dyes may comprise fats, oils, alcohols etc. too.
There are mainly two categories within which the solvent dyes are listed: Metal Complex Dyes and Basic
Dyes. They differ from faster light fastness to slower light fastness. Various types of colors are trailed by
their cataloguing patterns being targeted with naming systems such as Solvent, Color and Number
selected with (Solvent Black 27, Solvent Red 132 etc.).
Where do solvent dyes apply to?
Wood Stains
PVC, Nylon, PET
Color Masterbatches
Fibres, Filaments
Dyeing Industry
Gold Imitation
Metalized Polyester Films
Hydrocarbon Fuels, Waxes
Printing Inks
Industrial Plastics, ABS
Food Industries
Paper Media
Medicinal Examinations
Solvent dyes are also widely used for recoloring an existing surface, even the surfaces that are damaged,
e.g. scratched textures. They are available in great customization, adapting to nature of applications for
various organizational demands and needs.
What are the benefits of solvent dyes?
Solvent dyes are offered in unique and dynamic color shades with strong quality to their massive
applications. When being exposed to sunlight or light, they normally do not change their color effects,
being good at light fastness. Even after long storage, they have a very rare precipitation, possessing
greater endurance to migration at all. At higher temperatures, their good thermal solidity nature helps
in resisting oxidization against complex weathering too. Their better melting capacity at certain
temperature and high insoluble character in plastics makes them have rich color yields with no shade
alterations.
Focused industrial applications are largely attainable with such types of solvent dyes with the most
unmatchable dye quality and lively color combinations.
