Application:

Used for wool, silk, polyamide.

Acid Yellow 128 Use condition:

  • ‍1. It is used for dyeing wool, nylon, silk, vinylon and wool/bonded fabrics, and also for direct printing and leather dyeing of wool, silk and nylon fabrics.
  • 2. Wool dyeing: It should be carried out in a weak acid bath or a neutral bath. Add a small amount of acetic acid or ammonium sulfate to promote the dyeing. The pH value of the dyeing liquid is 5.5~7. It has excellent hiding performance for the hair tip and the same bath for different properties. The dyeing and color absorption are the same. It is often dyed with neutral blue BNL and neutral gray 2BL for various colors such as gray, rice, camel, grass green and grass yellow.
  • 3. Silk dyeing: It should be carried out in a neutral or weakly acidic bath.
  • 4. Nylon dyeing: It should be carried out in neutral or weak acid bath, pH value is 7~8. Color fastness is close to dyeing wool. The dyeing elastic nylon yarn has good fastness, but opacity and leveling Poor, should pay attention to the control of heating rate.
  • 5. Blending of blended fabrics: When dyeing wool with various fibers in the same bath, the apparent color of nylon is darker and redder than wool, silk is slightly shallow, cotton and viscose fiber are not stained. Wool or silk is blended with cotton or viscose The interwoven fabric can be dyed in the same bath with a neutral bath and a direct dye, and then treated with a fixing agent to improve the wet processing fastness.


FAQ

Which fibers does Acid Yellow 128 work best with?

Acid Yellow 128 is optimized for protein fibers such as wool and silk, and also performs well on polyamide (nylon). It provides the best color yield and leveling on wool and silk; nylon typically requires slightly higher bath acidity for equivalent shades.

What application methods are recommended?

Use Acid Yellow 128 in exhaust (vat) dyeing for uniform depth, in continuous/pad processes for high throughput, or in acid printing pastes for patterned effects. Pre-dispersed liquid grades improve reproducibility in pad and jet systems.

How should I prepare the dye for use to avoid specking and improve leveling?

Pre-dissolve the required dye charge in a portion of warm water and filter if necessary before introducing to the main bath. For pad/print applications, use a stable pre-dispersion and add leveling auxiliaries recommended for the fiber type to reduce surface migration and speck formation.

What fastness can I expect (wash, perspiration, light)?

Acid Yellow 128 typically shows good wet-fastness (wash and perspiration) on protein fibers when properly fixed under recommended acidic conditions. Lightfastness is moderate and should be tested against end-use requirements (indoor textile goods usually acceptable; outdoor exposure may require additional UV-resistant finishing).

Typical dosing guidance — how much dye should I use?

Dosing depends on desired shade and fabric weight; as a starting guideline, many users begin with 0.5–2.0% owf (on-weight-of-fiber) for medium shades and adjust after lab trials. Always run a lab sample and measure reflectance to finalize production dosing.

How do I achieve precise color matching across production lots?

Request a spectrophotometric target (Lab values) and keep dye lot numbers consistent. Use pre-production lab dips, measure reflectance, and keep process parameters (pH, liquor ratio, temperature profile, auxiliaries) tightly controlled; small changes in pH or salt can shift hue noticeably.

Are there special storage or handling requirements?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizers. Keep powders tightly sealed to avoid moisture pickup; liquid/dispersed forms should be agitated before use and stored at temperatures above freezing. Always consult the product SDS for full safety and handling details.

What environmental / regulatory considerations should I be aware of?

Comply with local wastewater treatment regulations: residual dye in effluent should be minimized via optimized dosing, improved fixation and proper effluent treatment (adsorption, coagulation, or advanced oxidation where required). Provide your supplier with regulatory or testing needs (e.g., REACH, OEKO-TEX) for documentation support.

Can Acid Yellow 128 be blended with other dyes to tune shade?

Yes—blending with compatible acid dyes allows custom hue adjustments (e.g., adding small amounts of cooler yellow or red to shift tone). Always perform lab trials to confirm compatibility, leveling behavior and fastness after blending.

How do I request a sample or technical datasheet?

Contact your supplier’s technical sales team and request a sample lot and SDS/TDS. For production planning, ask for a certificate of analysis, typical spectral data and a recommended recipe for your specific fiber and process.
