31 Oct, 2025
A » Direct dyes are water-soluble colorants used in the textile industry to dye cellulosic fibers, such as cotton and rayon, without requiring a mordant. Known for their ease of application, these dyes attach directly to the fiber through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Although they offer a wide range of colors and cost-effectiveness, they generally exhibit moderate wash fastness compared to other dye types.
