Structure: Copper Phthalocyanine - Vinyl Sulfone

Reactive Turq Blue G

C.I. Reactive Blue 21 (Turquoise)

Reactive Turquoise Blue G is a Vinyl Sulfone (VS) based reactive dye derived from Copper Phthalocyanine. It is famous for its unmatched brilliance and clean, bright greenish-blue shade on cotton and cellulose fibers. It serves as the primary component for creating bright Green and Blue shades in textile dyeing.

C.I. Number 74160 (Base)
CAS Number 12236-86-1
Light Fastness 6 - 7 (Very High)

Product Overview

Reactive Blue 21 is a "Knudsen" type dye with a large molecular structure. It provides brilliant shades that are impossible to achieve with azo dyes. It is suitable for Exhaust Dyeing at 60°C, Cold Pad Batch (CPB), and Continuous dyeing processes.

  • Shade: Bright Turquoise (Cyan). Essential for matching Pantone shades in the Green/Blue spectrum.
  • Solubility: Excellent solubility (>100 g/l), making it perfect for low liquor ratio dyeing machines.
  • Affinity: Medium substantivity, allowing for good leveling properties.

Technical Insight: The Giant Molecule

Why is it so bright but hard to wash?

Reactive Blue 21 is a Copper Phthalocyanine complex. This molecule is physically very large and planar (flat).

  • Light Fastness: The stable copper ring structure makes it incredibly resistant to UV light fading (Light Fastness 6-7).
  • Washing Issue: Because the molecule is huge, it diffuses slowly into the fiber and also diffuses slowly out during washing. Unfixed dye can be difficult to remove, requiring efficient washing agents to prevent staining.

Textile Applications

Cotton Knitwear

Used for bright fashion shades on t-shirts and activewear.

Home Textiles

Ideal for bedsheets, curtains, and towels where light fastness is crucial.

Shade Mixing

The primary component mixed with Yellows to create bright Parrot Greens and Lime shades.

Printing

Widely used in reactive printing pastes for viscose and cotton fabrics.

Rayon & Viscose

Excellent affinity for regenerated cellulose fibers, producing deep turquoise tones.

Salt-Free Grade

We offer Reverse Osmosis (RO) purified liquid grades for digital textile printing inks.

Packaging Options

Safety & Handling Protocols

Dust Handling

Reactive Blue 21 is a fine powder. Dust control is essential.

  • Inhalation: Use local exhaust ventilation. Wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask to prevent respiratory sensitization.
  • Skin Contact: Will stain skin blue for weeks. Wear rubber gloves and long sleeves.
  • Environmental: Contains Copper. Do not discharge untreated effluent into water bodies.
