Examples of Commercially Available Dyes

Disperse dyes are currently used to dye cellulose 2.5-acetate, cellulose triacetate, synthetic polyamides, and to a lesser degree, polyacrylonitrile and polypropylene. Their major application is clearly for dyeing polyesters. 

Since only a few individual dyes have satisfactory properties for all synthetic fibers, many dye producers offer separate lines for individual fibers as well as for various application methods.
