disperse blue 35

Description

Disperse Blue 35, also known as C.I. Disperse Blue 35, is a blue anthraquinone dye that is commonly used in the textile industry to color synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic. It is known for its excellent lightfastness and washfastness properties, making it a popular choice for dyeing fabrics that are exposed to sunlight and frequent washing. The synthesis of Disperse Blue 35 typically involves a multi-step process that starts with the condensation of a substituted anthraquinone with an amine. The final product is then purified and formulated for use in textile dyeing. Disperse Blue 35 is classified as a disperse dye, meaning that it is insoluble in water and must be dispersed in a fine powder form for application. It is applied to fabrics at elevated temperatures using a carrier solvent. The dye is then fixed to the fibers by a process known as diffusion. Studies on Disperse Blue 35 are primarily focused on its application in textile dyeing, its environmental impact, and its potential health effects. The dye has been shown to be relatively safe for human use at low concentrations. However, exposure to high concentrations of Disperse Blue 35 can lead to skin and eye irritation. Studies are also underway to investigate the environmental fate and toxicity of this dye.'
