Nylon is a synthetic fiber widely used in industrial applications due to its abrasion resistance, durability, high “stretch” ability, and resilience.  They are also used extensively in sportswear and hi-tech light-weight microfiber garments which provide improved breathability, water resistence, durability, and comfort.  Other nylon end-products include rope & cordage, parachute fabric, sail cloth, and cargo straps. Organic Dyes and Pigments offers a number of acid & disperse dye lines for nylon providing a wide shade and physical property range.  These dye product lines include the Orco Lanamide™, Orco Milling™Orco Nylosol™, Orcolan Neutral™, Orcoset™ and Orcocil™ brands.  OrcoSperse™ pigment dispersions are also used for printing on nylon fabric.  Our unique nanotechnology PeractoPad™ padding system offers a highly efficient system requiring no pretreatment or post-treatment.

Orco Lanamide™ Acid Dyes for Nylon

The Orco Lanamide™ product line consists of non-hazardous, non-chrome acid dyes applicable to nylon and blends offering high fastness, brightness, and compatibility as a group. Orco Lanamide™ dyes are especially suited for the sport and swimwear garments.

Orco Milling™ Acid Dyes for Nylon 

Orco Milling™ dyes are characterized by their high wetfastness and their wide range of bright colors. Although their lightfastness falls somewhat short of the metallized group of acid colors they do offer a brighter shade range to choose from. These dyes are used primarily in stock and package dyeing but have been used in piece dyeing where careful temperature and pH control is possible.

Orcolan Neutral™ Acid Dyes for Nylon

Orcolan Neutral™ dyes for nylon and wool, are 2:1 premetalized acid dyes. Because of their large molecular size, these behave similarly to the Orco Milling™ dyes in application and strike rate. Because of the metal complex (Cr+3 usually), these dyes exhibit excellent light and wet fastness and find application in automotive industrial fabrics.

Orco Nylosol™ Acid Dyes for Nylon

Orco Nylosol™ dyes for nylon are characterized by their excellent leveling and penetrating properties in addition to their wide range of bright colors. Although this range does not exhibit the high wet and light fastness properties of the Milling and Metallized dyes, when selected carefully and after-treated properly, good fastness may be achieved. This class of dye consists of two groups, each having somewhat different affinity for nylon and requiring slightly different application methods.

Orcocil™ Disperse Dyes for Nylon

Orcocil™ dyes are a specially selected group of disperse dyes characterized as low-energy disperse type. These exhibit excellent leveling characteristics and build-up at low temperatures on acetate, nylon, and differential dyeing of nylon. These are also used as an alternative to acid dyes on nylon offering excellent leveling properties for barre coverage with limited wash fastness in high concentrations.
