Naphthol Dyes

Through our long-standing association with Rohner Limited, Switzerland, we offer a wide range of Naphtanilide Dyes. These are high quality products for dyeing and printing cotton. The exceptional quality of these dyes offers numerous advantages to the user as well as to the garment manufacturer and the consumer.

Advantages to the Consumer:
Fashionable vivid colours, which lose none of their brilliancy even after repeated laundering. As a result, the useful life of the fabric is prolonged. It therefore pays to use such products.

Advantages for Dyeing and Printing Plants:
With the existing range of Naphtanilide products, current dyeing methods allow fast and deep shades of Yellow, Orange, Scarlet, Red, Bordeaux, Violet, Blue and Black to be produced.

The product range, which comprises of powder and liquid products is made up of approximately 20 Naphtanilides, 15 Fast Bases and 15 Fast Colour Salts. With a combination of these, a very wide range of shades can be produced suitable for dyeing and printing cellulosic fibres.


The process consists of three stages:

Exhaust Dyeing Process.
The main areas where Naphtanilide dyes are applied in the exhaust dyeing process on cotton and other cellulosic fibres are package dyeing (cheeses, beams, flocks) and hank dyeing. Piece goods can also be dyed on the jig with good results.

Pad Dyeing.
Cotton fabric and other cellulosic fibres can be economically dyed with Naphtanilides on a continuous dyeing range. This offers the advantages of dyeing long runs with low dyestuff consumption. The pre-treated goods are impregnated on the pad, given an intermediate dry (hot flue, can dryer, stenter etc.), cooled and finally developed on a pad and after-treated on a subsequent open-width washing range.
