Industrial dyes often used in multiple industries these days, so is the case with pigments. If we talk about industrial dyes, which are basically coloring, ionizing compounds, and aromatic used in numerous applications in various industries. The dyes have the property of showing an affinity for the substrate. However, it should be used with caution because some industrial dyes are toxic and carcinogenic in nature. Anyway, at present, colorants are applied in industries such as plastic, cement, cosmetics, rubber, paper, textile, medicine, to name a few. Some major varieties of industrial dyes mentioned in:

 

1) Digital Printing Textile Dyes: In digital printing using inkjet nozzles controlled by the computer or loaded drums. Physical surfaces on which the fingerprints are reproduced include plain paper, photo paper, plastic, cloth, etc. Popular varieties of dyes used for this purpose are acid inks, dispersed inks, reactive, and based inks dye.

 

2) Leather Dyes: Tanneries usually make use of about 50 to 100 different varieties of leather dyes. Each produces a different coloring desired effect on the leather. The dyes used in this industry include direct, acid etching, reactive, and basic dyes, among others.

 

3) Optical Brighteners: also known as optical agents, optical brighteners are dyes which have the attribute of absorbing violet and ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which results in prominent re-emission of light in the region blue. This dye is not suitable for use in water (as in the tank, etc.) due to its toxic nature.

 

4) The Sublimation Dyes: These dyes are mostly found application in various types of printing. They can be found in various forms, such as inkjet inks, thermal transfer ribbons and laser toner. Sublimation dyes are applied by the process called heat transfer. Its main varieties are acid, disperse, Cuba, direct and reactive.

 

Now, as you might have an idea about industrial dyes and their main varieties, we will discuss about industrial pigments and their types. Pigments are mainly the materials that make a change in the color of the transmitted light due to the attribute of the selective absorption of wavelength. The change in light transmission varies with the fluorescence, phosphorescence, and other forms of luminescence, in which a material emits light. The pigments are generally used in inks, dyes, paints, cosmetics, foodstuffs, etc. Today there are several types of commercially available pigments, from which some type of primary pigments are given in:

 

1) CLC Pigments: cholesteric liquid crystal pigments (CLC) are made of CLC films. These pigments are nowadays increasingly used in security machines and as an impediment to counterfeit bills, legal documents, etc.

 

2) Fluorescent Pigments: These pigments are changing the quality of ultraviolet light in the desired color. They are the lifeblood of any fluorescent material. Fluorescent pigments are mainly used in textile, paper-based coating solvent, and aerosol paints and coating.

 

3) Organic Pigments: Organic pigments consist of solid particles that are insoluble in the application medium. There are two basic varieties of these pigments, namely natural and synthetic. Organic pigments are generally used for coloring or coating purposes (decorative and protective) plastic, candles, paper, rubber materials, pharmaceuticals, etc.

 

4) Ultramarine Pigments: A type of inorganic pigments which are non-toxic and non-irritating in nature. They are also one of the oldest varieties of pigments. They have two basic types, viz., Powder Blue and violet ultramarine. Ultramarine pigments are applied in the coating, color, printing inks, cosmetics, and the colors of the artist.
