Cationic dyes are a type of textile dyes, also known as basic dyes and salt-based dyes. Dissolved in water in a cationic state, cationic dyes are soluble in water and ionise in aqueous solution to produce dyes with positively charged coloured ions. The cation of the dye can combine with the acidic group of the third monomer in the fabric to dye the fibre. It is a special dye for acrylic fibre dyeing, which has the advantages of high strength, bright colour and good light fastness.
