By their very nature, ‘solvent dyes’ are applicable in numerous industries. For a long time, they have been the staple ‘raw material’ for inks, paper industry, paints, and coatings. Their uses spread to marking pens, printing foils, and now to acrylic resins, candles, and waxes. They enhance the beauty of plastics, varnishes, shellacs, and wood stains. It is no wonder thatits usage in high-quality productsimprovesbusiness offerings.
Vipul Organics is a well-known company that doubles up as solvent dyes manufacturers for Indian and overseas customers. By providing solvent-based dyes, it has built a reputation in the global market.
This post highlights the importance of solvent dyes in the paper industry.Our customers from other industries can place orders for their business needs.
High-quality dyes for the paper industry
When paper is under production, specific colors madeby solvent dyes manufacturersare added to the pulp to increase the value of the end product. The same colorants can also be applied to the paper surface in the form of toning. The molecules are water-soluble and generate hydrogen bonds. These dyes are attracted to fibers and mordant is not required in the dying process. It is applicable to cellulose, protein, and blended fabrics
Dyes react in different ways depending on the pulp. Basic dyes will blend with lignin or if the surface has a strong negative charge. Non-static forces are responsible for absorption. In paper making process Aluminum vanadium helps in the retention of the dye when the pH value is between 4 to 5.2. Thus, each dye has a different impact, benefit, or side effects.
Color platter for paper making
Bright yellow is a common dye applied for fire papermaking, normal papermaking, and kraft papermaking. Different kinds of paper are produced and the colors, tones, and dyes are different. For instance, dyes used for toilet paper and newsprint are not the same. Brushing paper and cultural paper require different dyes making them versatile for several products.
Scope in the Plastics
Oil solvent dyes are common in this industry as they are strong colorants. Added features of this material include heat resistance, fastness, and brightness of color. They can be seen on everyday products and industrial greases. Masterbatches, paints, and inks make it to spinnerets of chemical fibers, nylon, and polyester.
There are various types of solvent dyes used by the chemical structure they have and the end use. In the case of plastics, it is heat resistance is important for performance and good quality of the product. They come in colors like blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, and red.
The other features it should exhibit are resistance towards:
- Acid & Alkalis
- Sublimation
- Oil and solvent
- Chemicals
- Light
They are soluble in organic solvents like wax, fats, ethers, alcohol, ketones, aliphatic, chlorinated, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Acrylic and PVC material coatings are also done with these solvents. They are also produced as strains by manufacturers for diagnosis in the medical field and scientific research.
