Direct Dyes
Direct dyes are a class of hot water dyes for use on cellulose fibers, such as cotton. It is one of the two types of dyes that are mixed in 'all purpose dyes' such as Rit, Tintex Hot Water dye, and Dylon Multi-purpose Dye.
The other type in the mixture is an acid dye, which will not stay in any cellulose fiber for long.
Direct Dyes are commonly used on cotton fibers. The color of Direct dyes on cotton fibers is not bright in respect to other dyes. The wash fastness of these dyes is not very good.
The only advantage of these dyes is that the light fastness is little more better. Lightfastness means the resistant capacity against fading in light. But, this is also in few cases only.
One more benefit of using Direct Dyes is that these can be used in the same dye bath with the Acid Dyes.
