Direct Dyes

Direct Dyes are a type of water-soluble dye used primarily for dyeing natural fibers like cotton, silk, wool, and rayon. These dyes directly adhere to the fabric through ionic and van der Waals forces without the need for a mordant. They offer a wide range of vibrant colors and are relatively easy to apply, making them popular for textile dyeing processes. However, Direct Dyes may lack the wash and lightfastness compared to other types of dyes, requiring proper care during laundering and exposure to sunlight.
