dye
0 sources
A dye is a class of chemical substances used primarily for coloring materials[1]. These substances impart color by bonding to or absorbing into the substrate they are applied to. Dyes are distinct from pigments, which remain insoluble and require a binder for adhesion.
Their applications span textiles, paper, leather, plastics, and food, where they provide vibrant or permanent coloration[1]. The chemical composition of dyes varies widely, allowing for a broad spectrum of hues and properties tailored to specific uses.
