Direct Black 38 Used for cotton, viscose, silk, polyamide fiber and its blending fabric, leather, wood, biological and plastic color, also used as the raw material of black ink.
1. Direct black BN dyed cotton or viscose fiber is black, such as p-nitroaniline coupled with diazotization, the color is obviously greenish. Good dyeing, poor transferability, sensitive to salt, slow heating when dyeing And salt is added to control the dyeing to obtain uniform color. After dyeing, the dyeing solution should be naturally cooled to 80 °C, which is beneficial to the dye exhaustion.
2. Direct black BN has been used for dyeing rich fiber, good dyeing, and the dyeing rate is slightly higher than cotton. It has also been used for dyeing silk, wool and cotton, viscose fiber interlaced or blended fabric, dyed silk and wool can be added Yuanming powder. When dyeing vinyl fabric, the dyeing rate is still good, and the color light is slightly greener than cotton. When cotton, viscose fiber and other fibers are dyed in the same bath, silk and wool can be approximated to the depth of cotton and viscose fiber. With green light, if dyeing with low temperature, silk and wool will be close to white; nylon will be green and black, diacetate and acrylic will be brownish, and polyester will be light brown.
3.Direct Black 38(Direct black BN) has been used for direct printing of cotton or viscose fabrics. It needs to be added with urea and disodium hydrogen phosphate to prepare color paste. When used for ground color discharge, it has better neutral dyeing effect. It can also be used for silk and silk. Printed wool fabric.
Direct Black 38 contains a carcinogenic aromatic amine benzidine, which is a banned dye. The alternative dyes are C.I.Direct Black 22 and C.I.Direct Black 103.
Direct Black 38 is specifically designed for cotton, viscose, and other cellulosic fibers. It produces uniform black shades without the need for mordants, making it ideal for both industrial and artisan applications.
The dye exhibits excellent colorfastness to washing, perspiration, and light. Fabrics dyed with Direct Black 38 maintain their rich black color even after repeated laundering and prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Yes, it is compatible with other direct dyes and many textile auxiliaries. However, pre-testing is recommended to ensure color consistency and avoid unexpected reactions.
Yes, it remains stable under typical industrial dyeing temperatures and conditions, providing reliable results without degradation or uneven shading.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures long-term stability and maintains the dye's solubility and performance.
