The Dyes are classified based on the products to which they can be applied and the chemical nature of each dye. Dyes are complex unsaturated aromatic having characteristics like solubility, intense color, substansiveness and fastness.

A dye-formulation is supposed to have approximately 10-80% pure dyestuff. It is mostly observed that dyestuffs delivered in powder form have a higher value. While a lower value is obtained for the liquid formulations.

Dyes may be classified in several ways (e.g., according to chemical constitution, application class, end-use).






Chemical classification of the Dyes

Dyes can be divided according to the nature of their Chromophore:

Dyes according to the nuclear structure

According to the Nuclear Structure, dyes are categorized into two groups


Industrial Classification of the Dyes

Textile Industries use dyestuff in large amount, so at this level a classification can be done according to their performances in the dyeing processes. The most consumable dye is Azo dye, around 60% of the total dyestuffs of the world are based on this dyes. Major classes of dyes in textile finishing is given here:


Classification based on the source of materials

Classification of dyestuff is mainly depend upon the nature of the source from which it is made. Accordingly the classification could be:


Other important dyes

Based on various applications, a number of other classes of dyes have also been established, that includes the following:
