The name ‘vat’ dyes
• The name ‘vat’ dyes is given from the recipient/vessel in which dye reduction and dissolving is performed
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 2

General properties of vat dyes
• Insoluble in water
• Are converted into water-soluble leuco-derivatives by reduction in alkaline solutions
• Leuco-derivatives possess substantivity for cellulose on which the colour is developed by subsequent oxidation
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 3
Classification of vat dyes - I
• Based on chemistry:
– Indigo derivatives
– Anthraquinone derivatives
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 4

Indigo derivatives
• Include natural and synthetic indigo • The colour of the soluble leucoderivative is usually different
from the insoluble dye form and tends to be pale yellow • Alkalinity required for dye reduction is less as compared to
anthraquinone dyes • Dyes are soluble in pyridine • Many dyes may sublime when heated • Leucoderivatives are easily oxidizable by the oxygen in air • Have more brilliant colours than anthraquinone • Poor light and washing fastness than anthraquinone
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 5
Anthraquinone derivatives
• May be derivatives of anthraquinone, indanthrone or benzanthrone
• More alkalinity required during reduction than indigo
• Colour of the reduced form different from insoluble dye form and tends to be different for each dyes
• Oxidize back by oxygen in air or oxidizing agents

Anthraquinone derivatives…
• Washing fastness generally better in dark shades than light shades
• Washing fastness better in case of flock dyeing before spinning than fabric dyeing
• Light fastness varies from dye to dye; from excellent to poor
• Light fastness of some dyes improves in combination with other dyes
• Some dyes may cause loss in resistance of cellulose to light
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 7
Classification of vat dyes - II
• Based on application conditions
– IN* or CI** dyes (Hot)
– IW or CII dyes (Warm)
– IK or CIII dyes (Cold)
– IN special dyes
• * Bayer classification
• **Ciba classification

Comparison of different vat dyes
IN dyes IW dyes IK dyes IN special dyes
-Require high temperature -Temperature of max. affinity 60°C -High amount of sodium hydroxide -No salt -Poor levelling -Require more levelling agent
-Require medium temperature -Temperature of max. affinity 45°C -Medium amount of sodium hydroxide -Medium amount of salt -Medium levelling -Require some levelling agent
-Require low temperature -Temperature of max. affinity 25°C -Low amount of sodium hydroxide -High amount of salt -Good levelling -Require no levelling agent
-Require higher temperature and caustic soda than IN dyes

Common phases in vat dyeing by exhaust method
• Reduction – Conversion of insoluble vat pigment into soluble sodium leuco-
vat anions
• Diffusion – of sodium leuco-vat anions into cellulosic fibres
• Rinsing – Removal of excess alkali and reducing agents by washing off
• Oxidation – of the soluble dye into insoluble pigmentary form within the
cellulosic fibres, and
• Soaping, – during which the isolated molecules of vat pigments are re-
orientated and associate into a different, more crystalline form

Reducing agent requirements
• A level of reducing power sufficient to reduce all commercial vat dyes to their water soluble form, quickly and economically
• Conversion of the vat dyes into products from which the original pigment can be restored (no over-reduction)
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 11
Exhaust dyeing phase - 1
Commonly used reducing agent
• Sodium hydrosulphite, commonly known as hydros but more correctly known as sodium dithionite, which has the chemical formula Na2S2O4.
• Although a part of the hydros is used up in the reduction of vat dyes, a large part of it may be destroyed by its reaction with oxygen in the air (oxidation), particularly at higher temperatures.

Factors of rate of dye reduction
• Dye-related: – Amount of dye
– Particle size of the dye,
• Auxiliary-related – Concentration of the reducing agent
– Concentration of alkali/pH during reduction
• Process related – Temperature
– Time
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 13
Exhaust dyeing phase - 1
Stability of alkaline solutions of reducing agent
• May decrease with:
– increased temperature,
– greater exposure to air,
– greater agitation and
– lower concentration of the reducing agent
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 14

Over-reduction
• Vat dyes of the Indanthrene type may produce duller or greener shades at dyeing temperatures higher than 60 °C due to over-reduction.
• Over-reduction can be prevented by the use of sodium nitrite if the reducing agent is hydrosulphite
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 15
Exhaust dyeing phase - 1
Factors affecting rate of dyeing
• Type of the substrate,
• Temperature,
• Liquor ratio,
• Concentration of dye
• Concentration of electrolyte
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 16

Effect of substrate
• Mercerized cotton gives a higher rate of dyeing as compared to un-mercerized bleached cotton which in turn gives higher rate than the grey material.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 17
Exhaust dyeing phase - 2
Effect of temperature
• At low temperature, the rate of exhaustion is low which might promote levelness but the rate of diffusion is also low.
• At high temperature, the rate of exhaustion is high which might decrease levelness but the rate of diffusion is high.
• Maximum exhaustion, penetration and levelness can be obtained by starting the dyeing at low temperatures in the leuco stage and slowly raising the temperature.
• Some dyes may not be stable to very high temperatures, so the stability of dyes to temperature must be taken into account.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 18

10
Effect of liquor ratio
• The higher the liquor ratio, the slower is the rate of dyeing.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 19
Exhaust dyeing phase - 2
Effect of dye concentration
• Most of the dyes exhaust more rapidly at low concentrations, increasing the risk of unlevel dyeing in light shades.
• Some have the same rate of dyeing irrespective of the concentration.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 20

11
Effect of electrolyte
• The higher the concentration of electrolyte, the higher is the rate of dyeing.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 21

Rinsing before oxidation
• Purpose – To remove any loose dye, excess of reducing agent
and alkali to lower the pH and establish conditions favourable for oxidation.
• Parameters – The higher the temperature and/or pH of the rinsing
bath, the lower is the colour strength. – Very high pH and temperature during rinsing may also
result in the dulling of the shade. – The ideal is to do rinsing thoroughly at low
temperature at a rinsing bath pH value of 7.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 22

Oxidation
• Purpose
– To convert the water-soluble leuco from of the vat dye, back into the insoluble pigment form
• Parameters
– The type and concentration of oxidising agent,
– The type of pH regulator and pH during oxidation,
– Temperature during oxidation
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 23
Exhaust dyeing phase - 4
Oxidation…
• Oxidizing agent
– The oxidizing agent must provide a level of oxidation potential sufficient to oxidize the reduced vat dye into insoluble pigment, with no over-oxidation i.e., beyond the oxidation state of the original pigmentary form of the dye.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 24
Exhaust dyeing phase - 4
09/05/2012
13
Oxidation…
• pH
– Poor control of pH during oxidation may result in uneven oxidation.
– A pH below 7.5 should be avoided to prevent the possible formation of acid leuco form of vat dyes.
– The optimum pH for oxidation is 7.5-8.5.
– The acid leuco form of vat dye is difficult to oxidize, has little affinity for fibre and is easily rinsed out.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 25
Exhaust dyeing phase - 4
Oxidation…
• Temperature
– A lower temperature may result in slower oxidation
– The higher the temperature, the faster is the oxidation, the optimum temperature being 50-60°C
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 26

Soaping
• Purpose – To remove any dye that is not diffused into the fibre
– To stabilize the final shade. • This results in improved fastness properties and resistance
to any shade change to a resin or other finish or to consumer use.
• Parameters – Time,
– Temperature,
– Type and concentration of soaping auxiliaries

Machine factors for consumption of reducing agent
• Factors
– the sealing of the machine
– the air volume in the machine
– the liquor turbulence
• When calculating the recipes, it is necessary to incorporate:
– 2.0 liters caustic soda 36°Bé (66°Tw) and
– 1.7 kg hydrosulfite conc.
• to eliminate the oxygen present in each cubic meter of air.
5/9/2012 Dr. Tanveer Hussain 31
Preparing dye dispersions
• Strew dye into 5-8 times its weight of soft water at 20-25°C, while stirring at a high speed.
• Alternatively, mix dye to a smooth paste with the gradual addition of about 5 times its weight of soft water at 20-25°C and then dilute as required.
• Dispersions should not be made up with hot water or boiled up with live steam as this can cause dye agglomeration.
