High Quality Direct Dye Direct Blue 71
Product Characteristics
Direct Blue 71 is a triazene-based direct sun-resistant dye.
Physical and Chemical Properties
1.Solubility
Direct Blue 71 has moderate water solubility. The aqueous solution appears as a bright blue color; it is slightly soluble in cellulose and extremely slightly soluble in ethanol. It does not dissolve in other organic solvents.
Solubility: 60°C approximately 10g/L, 97°C approximately 20g/L
Direct Blue 71's alkali resistance stability: stable at pH 7-10; highly alkaline (pH > 11) causes precipitation easily (the car wash solution should control pH ≤ 10)
2.Acid-base reaction characteristics
Aqueous solution + concentrated hydrochloric acid: blue precipitate
Aqueous solution + concentrated alkali: red-purple precipitate
Concentrated sulfuric acid: blue to gray-black, diluted to red-purple precipitate
3.Dyeing characteristics
Color: deep red blue, rich and stable
Affinity: Direct Fast Blue B2RL has good affinity for cellulose fibers such as cotton, viscose, and linen
Dyeing rate: medium to high; Direct Fast Blue B2RL's uniformity and removability are average
Color Fastness Indicators (Reference)
Sunlight fastness: 5-6 grades
Water washing fastness: 3-4 grades
Dry rubbing fastness: 4 grades
Wet rubbing fastness: 2-3 grades
Core Advantages and Limitations Advantages
1.The unique direct blue 71 color light: deep blue red, more intense than ordinary direct blue, suitable for dark coloring.
2.Direct blue 71 has better sun resistance: 5-6 sun exposure levels, superior to some direct blue, does not fade easily when used outdoors.
3.Direct Fast Blue B2RL has high cost-effectiveness: moderate price, widely applicable. Limitations
4.Direct Fast Blue B2RL, Alkali Resistant General: pH > 11. It tends to precipitate and is not suitable for strong alkaline car washing solutions (pH 11–12).
5.Direct Blue 71 is sensitive to iron ions: The color becomes darker when encountering iron ions during dyeing. It is recommended to dissolve in soft water.
Five. Application Scope
1.Industrial Coloring
Neutral / Weakly Alkaline Car Wash Solution, Glass Water: Suitable for deep blue coloring. Caution should be exercised with strong alkaline systems.
Direct Blue 71 can be used in water-based cleaners, laundry detergents, paper, leather, soap, bamboo and wood fiber coloring.
2.Textile Printing and Dyeing
Direct Fast Blue B2RL presents red light deep blue coloring in cotton, viscose, hemp, non-woven fabric, home textiles, knitted products, etc.
Silk, nylon and blended fabrics of viscose / nylon are also suitable for dyeing.
Six. Usage Process of Direct Blue 71
1.Mixing Solution: Stir and dissolve in 50–60℃ warm water. Avoid lumps and do not use strong alkaline water.
2.Dosage: 0.2–0.5g/kg (0.002–0.005% by weight), 3% by weight is sufficient for deep blue color.
3.pH Control: Strictly control pH 8–10. Beyond this range, it tends to precipitate.
4.Compatibility: Direct Fast Blue B2RL has good compatibility with non-ionic / anionic surfactants and does not affect foaming.
