The term “disperse dye” have been applied to the organic colouring substances which are free
from ionizing groups, are of low water solubility and are suitable for dyeing hydrophobic
fibres. The dye has derived its name for its insoluble aqueous properties and the need to apply
it from an aqueous dispersion. Of all the dyes, they are of the smallest molecular size.
The dyeing of hydrophobic fibres like polyester fibres with disperse dyes may be considered
as a process of dye transfer from liquid solvent (water) to a solid organic solvent (fibre).
Disperse dyes are added to water with a surface active agent to form an aqueous dispersion.
The insolubility of disperse dyes enables them to leave the dye liquor as they are more
substantive to the organic fibre than to the inorganic dye liquor. The application of heat to the
dye liquor increases the energy of dye molecules and accelerates the dyeing of textile fibres.
It has been established that certain hydrocarbons, phenols, amino acids, amides, alcohols,
esters, ketones, nitriles etc. accelerate the rate of dyeing polyester fibre with disperse dyes
from aqueous medium at temperature up to 100°C. These dyeing assistants alter the
dispersing properties of the dyes and the physical characteristics of the fibre so that more dye
can be transferred from the dye bath to the fibre. These are called carriers and are necessary
for dyeing polyester fibres at the normal pressure and temperature below 100°C to increase
the dyeing rate and to permit dye migration within the fibre. Level dyeing of disperse dyes
depend on the migration power of the dye which is affected by nature and amount of carrier,
dyeing time, temperature and the shade.
Disperse dyes are nonionic dyes. So they are free from ionizing group.
They are ready made dyes and are insoluble in water or have very low water solubility.
They are organic colouring substances which are suitable for dyeing hydrophobic fibres.
Disperse dyes are used for dyeing man made cellulose ester and synthetic fibres
specially acetate and polyester fibres and sometimes nylon and acrylic fibres.
Carrier or dispersing agents are required for dyeing with disperse dyes.
Disperse dyes have fair to good light fastness with rating about 4-5.

At first a paste of dye and dispersing agent is prepared and water is added to it.
PH is controlled by adding acetic acid.
This condition is kept for 15 minutes at temperature 60°C.
Then the dye bath temperature is raised to 130°C and this temperature is maintained for
1 hour. Within this time, dye is diffused in dye bath, adsorbed by the fibre and thus
required shade is obtained.
The dye bath is cooled as early as possible after dyeing at 60°C.
The fabric is hot rinsed and reduction cleaning is done if required.
Then the fabric is finally rinsed and dried.
The unfixed dyes was fixed by adding 4% NaOH and 2% Hydrose where temperature
was set at 800C as well as time 10 min .
Finally the fabric was rinse again by cold water .
