Determination of Dye Uptake

Dye uptake refers to the efficiency with which dyes are adsorbed by substances during the dyeing process. A high dye uptake rate means that the dye can effectively combine with the substance to achieve the desired dyeing effect. The indicators to measure the dye uptake rate mainly include color intensity and coverage. The level of dye uptake depends on the chemical structure, solubility, molecular size, electrostatic properties and other factors of the dye, as well as the surface properties of the dyed substance. Improving the dye uptake rate can improve the dye formula, optimize the dyeing process and the pretreatment of the dyed material. Determination of dye uptake is generally by spectrophotometry, thin layer chromatography, dye bath concentration method and high performance liquid chromatography.

Commonly Used Testing Means and Methods

• Spectrophotometry: The dyed fiber material is soaked in the dye solution, and the dye uptake rate is calculated by measuring the absorbance change of the dye solution. Measurements can be made using a UV-Vis spectrometer.
• Thin-layer chromatography: Spread the dye solution evenly on the thin-layer chromatography plate, then place the fiber material above the dye solution, and evaluate the dye uptake rate by comparing the color depth of the dye solution area and the fiber material area.
• Dyeing bath concentration method: Prepare different concentrations of dye solutions, soak the fiber materials in different concentrations of dye solutions, and then wash with water and dry. Dye uptake is evaluated by comparing the color shades of the fiber materials.
• High-performance liquid chromatography: Use high-performance liquid chromatography to measure the amount of dye deposited on the fiber material, so as to calculate the dye uptake rate.
