Reactive Orange 16 is a classic and widely used monoazo dye based on a vinyl sulfone (VS) reactive system. It is celebrated for its bright, reddish-orange shade and excellent fixation properties. The versatile VS group allows for application across a range of temperatures and methods, from cold-pad-batch to high-temperature exhaust dyeing. It is a reliable and highly efficient workhorse dye for achieving brilliant, durable orange shades on cellulosic fibres.
