Textile Dyestuff Market: Global Industry Forecast (2022-2027) Dyeing is the process of applying color to a fabric with some degree of durability or fastness. Dyestuffs are the substances that give color. These colorants are known as dyes when they have a great affinity for and persistence on fabrics. Dyes penetrate or disperse through the chemical composition of textile fibers to produce the final color of the apparel products. Due to the obvious molecular attraction between the particular dye and the unique textile fiber, the dye-fiber molecular interaction is also fully accountable for the extent of abrasion resistance or permanence of the color. Dyes are categorized as fiber specific. This means, that cotton dyes would not work on polyester, acrylic, wool, or any other regularly used textile materials.
