In view of the immense commercial importance of phthalocyanines as pigments, it is perhaps surprising that only a few are of importance as textile dyes. This is primarily due to the size of the molecules they are too large to allow penetration into many fibres, especially the synthetic fibres polyester and polyacrylonitrile. An example of a phthalocyanine dye which may be used to dye cellulosic substrates such as cotton and paper is C. I. Direct Blue 86 (96), a disulfonated copper phthalocyanine. In addition, a few blue reactive dyes for cotton incorporate the copper phthalocyanine system as the chromophoric unit (Chapter 8).
