Acid Black 107

Acid Black 107 is a high-concentration acid dye formulated for deep, neutral-to-black shades on protein fibres (wool, silk) and polyamides (nylon). It delivers strong leveling, excellent exhaustion and reproducible shade depth across batches. Designed for industrial textile dyeing and lab-scale sampling, Acid Black 107 offers reliable mixing compatibility with other acid dyes and predictable fastness when properly fixed with conventional acid-dyeing auxiliaries.

The appearance is black powder and the aqueous solution is blue-gray.

Application:

Used for wool, silk, tussah, polyamide, PVA, d/cotton, wool/stick blended fabric dyeing and printing.

Acid Black 107 Use condition:

  • ‍1. Mainly used for dyeing and printing of wool, silk and nylon, and also for coloring leather.
  • 2. Wool dyeing: in neutral or slightly acidic bath, add a small amount of acetic acid or ammonium acetate to help dye, the pH value of the dyeing solution is adjusted to 5~6. It is used to dye the black of hair and top, and can not be used as gray. When the dosage is 8%, it can be dyed deep black. Add ammonium acetate or ammonium dihydrogen phosphate to help dye. Yuanming powder is good for dye exhaustion. It is not advisable to add acetic acid during dyeing to avoid color flower.
  • 3. Silk dyeing: It is carried out in a neutral or weakly acidic bath and is often used to dye silk black.
  • 4. Nylon dyeing: carried out in a neutral bath. When dyeing nylon strips, the initial dyeing temperature should be lowered, and the pH value is 7~8; if the dye is added, it should be cooled to 70~80 °C before adding to the dye bath.
  • 5. Blending of blended fabrics: When the wool is dyed in the same bath as the various fibers, the apparent color depth of the nylon is slightly deeper than that of the wool, and the silk is slightly lighter, and the viscose fiber and the diacetate fiber have a slight stain. It can be the same as the direct dye. Bath dyed wool or wool-blend blend.
  • 6. Printing: It is used for direct printing of wool, silk and nylon fabrics, and has good sun and soaping fastness.‍

FAQ

How do I evaluate shade repeatability between production batches?

Run a small-scale lab dyeing (standardized liquor ratio and pH) and measure the CIELab values. Compare L* and a*/b* coordinates to your master batch; deviations in L* indicate tinctorial variation while a*/b* shifts indicate hue drift. Keep a record of liquor ratio, pH, auxiliaries and dyebath temperature for reproducibility.

What are the common causes if my black appears brownish or bluish?

Brownish or bluish casts usually indicate either under-dosage, incompatible mixing dyes, or insufficient exhaustion/fixation. Check pH control, ensure adequate acidification during fixation, and verify that co-dyes or leveling agents are not shifting the undertone.

Which auxiliaries improve fastness and leveling with Acid Black 107?

Use recommended leveling agents and anti-bleeding auxiliaries for even uptake; acidic salts (e.g., sodium sulfate) help exhaustion in many recipes. Fixatives and post-dyeing rinses—plus standard dyeing softeners—can improve wet and rubbing fastness without altering shade significantly.

How should I store Acid Black 107 to preserve quality?

Store in a cool, dry, well-sealed container away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid extended exposure to high humidity; label batches and rotate stock (first in, first out) to maintain consistent performance.

Is Acid Black 107 safe to handle in the plant environment?

Follow standard industrial hygiene: use dust control, local exhaust ventilation and appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, dust mask). Consult the product SDS for detailed health, environmental and first-aid information specific to the supplied batch.

Can Acid Black 107 be combined with other acid dyes to achieve new blacks?

Yes — mixing with other acid dye blacks or deep navy/red-black dyes is common to tune depth and undertone. Pre-test blends at production scale and document recipes; avoid incompatible dye chemistries that cause leveling problems.

What quality checks do you recommend on receipt of a new batch?

Check tinctorial strength by dyeing a standard sample, verify shade against your master standard, inspect for moisture clumping or foreign matter, and confirm the supplier’s certificate of analysis (batch number, purity, and appearance).

Why might fixation and washfastness vary between continuous and batch processes?

Continuous processes rely on precise air/chemistry control and rapid fixation; batch processes allow longer interaction time. Differences in liquor ratio, pH profile and dwell time can change exhaustion and fixation, so recipes must be optimized per process type.

Can you provide a sample or technical datasheet before bulk ordering?

Most suppliers offer lab samples and a technical datasheet (including spectral data, solubility, recommended recipes and SDS). Request a sample and run a lab-scale reproducibility test before approving large orders.
