Dye Intermediates

Dye intermediates are transition compounds formed by chemical reactions of basic raw materials that can be easily used to synthesize other dye intermediates or colorants. Manufacturing dye intermediates helps to reduce lead time with the consistency of synthesized dyes or chemicals, thus requiring less inventory and limiting dye synthesis to only a handful of intermediates. To be specific, during processing, they are converted into finished dyes and pigments. Dye intermediates serve many industries such as textiles, plastics, paints, printing inks and paper.

Our wide range of dye intermediates are synonymous with quality and cost-effective processing. With flexible solutions, specialized to meet your needs, on-time delivery and easy order placement facility, you can be assured of step-by-step guidance at all levels.

Alfa Chemistry has the ability to provide customers with a comprehensive range of dye intermediates.

Common Dye Intermediates

Some popular dye intermediates are acid orange, yellow and acid black dyes, malachite green crystals, basic magenta lumps and anthraquinone intermediates. They are also important raw materials for acid dyes, direct dyes and reactive dyes. Most of dye intermediates are aromatic compounds with substituent groups such as –NH₂, -OH, and -NO₂ which alter the reactivity of the cyclic compound and sometimes the color of the dye.
