Cationic Yellow 28

Basic Yellow 28 Appearance is yellow powder (or liquid), soluble in water and yellow. It is orange in concentrated sulfuric acid and turns yellow after dilution. The aqueous solution of dye is added with sodium hydroxide as colorless. It is dyed at 120 °C and the color is unchanged. It is not suitable for boiling when dissolved. The pH of the dye bath is stable in the range of 3-6. The blocking group of the dispersed cationic golden SD-GL is 1-naphthalenesulfonate.

TRADE NAME

Cationic yellow 28,Cationic Yellow X-GL,Basic Golden Yellow X-GL,Catonic Gold Yellow X-GL,Special Golden Yellow X-GL

Main Properties

  • Cationic dye with strong affinity for acrylic fibers
  • Produces brilliant and vivid yellow shades
  • Good solubility in water and easy to apply in dye baths
  • High brightness and uniform level dyeing
  • Stable under normal processing conditions
  • Suitable for textiles, leather, paper, and plastics coloration
  • Offers fastness to light and moderate washing resistance
  • Cost-effective solution for vivid shades in industrial dyeing

Application:

Basic Yellow 28 Mainly used in acrylic fiber, scattered article fiber dyeing, can be used for direct printing acrylic and silk, also can be used for modification polyester fiber, acetate fiber and PVC fiber dyeing.

Use condition:

  • Acrylic dyeing: It is suitable for the dyeing of acrylic fiber, fiber strip and wool. It is carried out in acetic acid and sodium acetate bath. The pH value is below 5 and the color is stable. The color light is similar to that of cationic orange G. It is bright yellow orange. Less Used alone, it is usually dyed with cationic pink FG and turquoise blue. It is dyed with cationic red GTL, blue NBL or blue 7GL. It has good darkness and steam resistance.
  • Other fiber dyeing: Basic Yellow 28 can be used for dyeing modified polyester, acetate fiber and polyvinyl chloride. It can be dyed with silk in the same way as grafting method, which can improve the color fastness.
  • Printing: Basic Yellow 28 can be used for direct printing of acrylic fabrics. It can be used in combination with other X-type cationic dyes, and can also be used for direct printing of silk, diacetate and triacetate fabrics. The dyes are printed directly on the silk, but only as small pieces of bright color.‍

What substrates does Basic Yellow 28 dye best?

Basic Yellow 28 shows strongest substantivity on acrylic fibers and good uptake on protein fibers such as wool and silk. It is also widely used in aqueous inks and paper applications; compatibility with plastics and coatings depends on the specific polymer and formulation.

How soluble is Basic Yellow 28 and how should I prepare the dye bath?

The dye is water-soluble and dissolves readily to form clear dye solutions. For accurate shade replication, pre-dissolve the measured dye in warm water, add to the main bath under agitation, and perform a small trial to confirm shade and build-up before full production.

What typical dosage should I start with for textiles?

Start small: perform lab trials in the range of 0.01%–0.5% owf (on-weight-of-fiber) depending on desired intensity and fabric type. Because Basic Yellow 28 has high tinctorial strength, increments should be small — record each trial so you can scale reliably.

How can I improve light- and wash-fastness when using Basic Yellow 28?

To improve fastness, use appropriate after-fixation treatments (fixatives for protein fibers), UV absorbers or antioxidants in ink and coating systems, and consider blending with more lightfast dyes. Always validate any treatment with accelerated fastness testing.
