Disperse dye

Disperse dyes are dyes intended for polyester,[1] acetate, and related hydrophobic fibers. It is estimated that 85% of disperse dyes are azos or anthraquinone dyes.[2]

Disperse Yellow 42 is one of the more common disperse dyes.

Disperse dye have low solubility in water, typically less than 1 mg/L. They are applied to the article as an extremely fine suspension. Upon attachment to the article, the particles dissolve and, owing to their low molecular weight, migrate throughout.
