  1. Acid dye - Wikipedia

    • Acidic dyes can be classified according to their dyeing behavior. This includes their wet fastness, migration ability, and dyeing pH: Leveling acid dyes: These dyes have relatively low molecular weights. Consequently, they migrate more readily before fixation and they exhibit low wet fastness. They are not normally suited for use as apparel fabric. They require an a… See more
