Trends in the synthesis and application of some reactive dyes: A review

Abstract

From last 25 years that many researchers have developed the novel reactive dyes with modification in structure of reactive dyes. In the present review paper concentrated development of reactive dyes. The review paper is focused on the highlight such dyes have having excellent dyeing properties and wet-fastness properties. This review paper express the monstrous impression of reactive dyes on the textiles coloration industry. Particularized details are given regarding evolution in the chemistry of reactive structure systems. It is additionally mentioned pointed out that advance research is mandatory to enhance dye fixation and wet-fastness properties. Reactive dyes have been used for the past hundred years for dyeing of cellulosic fabrics. A reactive dye has a chromophore, which is a group or an atom that is responsible for the dye’s colour. It has a component which reacts with the fabric or substrate. They have excellent fastness features due to the presence of covalent bonds that takes place during dyeing. The dyeing industry is dominated by the parties who can create dyes having excellent dyeing efficiency, stable, can be resistant to chemical actions and be affordable. In this review on development of synthesis reactive dyes has been provided. This review paper concentrated on research of reactive groups type.
