The document provides information about reactive dyes, including: - Reactive dyes form covalent bonds with fiber polymers through reactive groups, giving excellent wash and light fastness. - Important reactive groups include triazine, vinyl sulfone, and halogen groups. - Reactive dyes were invented in 1956 and became popular for their bright colors, low temperature dyeing, and simple process. - Common application methods are pad-batch and pad-dry processes at low temperatures. Proper pH, electrolyte, alkali, and time are required for effective dye fixation to the fiber.
