Determination of Moisture in Dye

Dye is the organic chemical, typically a chemical used to color fibers, fabrics, and other materials. During the manufacture of dyes, the moisture content has a major impact on their quality and performance. If too much moisture is present in the dye, it will affect the stability and shelf life of the dye, and may even cause it to fail. Therefore, it is very important to accurately measure the moisture content in the dye. By measuring the moisture content in the dye, its quality and performance can be determined, which is beneficial to the control and management in production. At the same time, reasonable control of the moisture content in the dye will also help reduce production costs and improve the economic benefits of the product.

The Services

Alfa Chemistry provides precise testing services. In addition to routine analysis and testing, it can also conduct professional moisture testing in dyes. Testing of moisture in dyes often determines their quality and performance, benefiting customers for quality control and cost reduction. Alfa Chemistry has professional researchers with many years of experience in the field of dye research, and has the ability to provide customers with comprehensive testing services, including but not limited to:

• Accurate measurement of moisture content in dyes
• Water vapor transmission rate test
• Hydrolysis test

The above tests need to be carried out by oven, electronic balance, moisture analyzer or other professional equipment, aiming to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of dye samples, and have determined their stability, air permeability, durability and solubility, etc.

The scope of application

This type of testing service is applicable to the determination of moisture in various dyes and intermediates, among which the Karl Fischer method and Karl Fischer's modified method are suitable for the determination of trace moisture in dyes and dye intermediates, but not applicable to the determination of moisture in dyes and intermediates The main components of the Karl Fischer reagent react to form water samples and the determination of water in samples that can reduce iodine or oxidize iodide.

Test process and steps

1. Take a certain amount of dye sample (usually 2-5 grams) and dry it in a drying oven at 105°C to constant weight.
2. Take the sample out, weigh its mass with a dry beaker, and record it as m1.
3. Add a certain amount of anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) absorbent (generally twice the mass of the sample) to the sample in the beaker, and seal it for several hours to allow it to absorb the moisture in the sample.
4. Change the air in the desiccator to make the desiccant reach equilibrium state, record the mass of the current desiccant, and denote it as m2.
5. Reweigh the dried beaker, sample and desiccant and record the mass as m3.
6. Moisture content (%) = (m3-m2-m1)/m1×100.

Precautions:

1. Calcium chloride absorbent should be pre-dried to constant weight before adding to the sample.
2. The evaporating dish and beaker should be baked in a 105°C drying oven to a constant weight state to eliminate the moisture in them.
3. During the measurement process, the relative humidity of the experimental environment should be kept below 30%.
