BasicDyes

Uses

They are used to dye paper, polyacrylonitrile, modified nylons, and modified polyesters. In solvents other than water, they form writing and printing inks. The principal chemical classes are triaryl methane or xanthenes. Basic brown 1 is an example of a cationic dye that is readily protonated under the pH 2 to 5 conditions of dyeing.

Uses

Basic dyes are water-soluble and produce colored cations in solution. They are mostly amino and substituted amino compounds soluble in acid and made insoluble by the solution being made basic. They become attached to the fibers by formation of salt linkages (ionic bonds) with anionic groups in the fiber.
