Low Impact Fiber Reactive Dyes

Low-impact fiber reactive dyes are a type of textile dye used to color fabrics, particularly natural fibers like cotton, wool, and silk. These dyes are called "low-impact" because they are designed to be more environmentally friendly than traditional dyes.

What makes them "fiber reactive" is their chemical ability to bond with the fibers of the fabric at a molecular level, forming a strong bond that is both wash- and light-fast, which means the color stays vibrant longer. The "low-impact" aspect refers to how these dyes require less water and energy during the dyeing process and are often less toxic to the environment. They generally contain fewer harmful chemicals compared to other dyes and produce less waste. This makes them a more sustainable option in textile dyeing. Low-impact fiber reactive dyes offer vibrant colors while being more eco-friendly, durable, and safe compared to conventional dyeing methods.
