Reactive dyes in general are a popular dyer’s choice for cotton and rayon due to their excellent fastness properties and bright shade range. Many dyeing application methods can be used such as exhaust, continuous, package, jet dyeing, and printing. As a comparison to direct dyes, the washfastness properties of reactive dyes are greater but the dyeing cycle time is generally longer, which may be a concern if high fastness properties are not necessary.  The table below lists our Orco Reactive™ dye product lines  with brief descriptions of each.   Clicking on a dye sub-class will bring you to the dye  listing.  From here you will be able to see dye descriptions and request samples. You can view and print the physical properties and/or Material Safety Data Sheets of these products via our free interactive DyeSelect™ CD-ROM program!
