Durable Milling Yellow for Cellulosic Fibres

Reactive Yellow 42 is a disazo reactive dye known for its good overall fastness properties, often referred to as a “milling” type reactive dye. It produces a neutral to slightly greenish-yellow shade with good resistance to washing and light. This makes it a suitable choice for dyeing items that require higher durability than standard reactive dyes, such as workwear, towels, and home furnishings made from cotton or viscose.

Applications
  • Exhaust Dyeing: Used for dyeing cotton and viscose goods where good wash fastness is a key requirement.
  • Textile Printing: Provides a durable yellow for printing applications on cellulosic fabrics.
  • Leather Dyeing: Can also be used in certain leather dyeing processes.

Key Benefits

  • Good wash fastness and wet fastness (milling properties).
