Benchmark High-Fixation Black VS Dye

Reactive Black 5 is a benchmark and one of the most widely used reactive dyes in the textile industry. As a bifunctional vinyl sulfone (VS) dye, it offers an extremely high fixation rate, leading to deep, saturated black shades with excellent efficiency. It produces a neutral to slightly reddish-black shade on all cellulosic fibres. Its robustness, versatility, and cost-effectiveness make it an indispensable workhorse for achieving deep, durable blacks.

Applications
  • Exhaust Dyeing: The industry standard for achieving deep black shades on cotton and viscose.
  • Continuous Dyeing: Excellent performance in cold-pad-batch and other continuous ranges.
  • Textile Printing: A primary black for creating sharp, deep, and fast prints.
  • Blends: Effectively dyes the cellulosic portion in polyester/cotton and other blends.

Key Benefits

  • Very high fixation rate for economical and eco-friendly dyeing.
  • Excellent build-up for very deep, saturated black shades.
  • Good all-around fastness properties, especially wash fastness.
  • Highly versatile across all major application methods.
