Disperse dyes are organic compounds without ionizing groups that are insoluble in water but can be dispersed to dye synthetic fibers like polyester. The history and properties of disperse dyes are discussed. Disperse dyes are classified by chemical structure and fastness properties. Dispersing agents and carriers are used to aid disperse dyeing at high temperatures or through carrier methods. Examples of commercial disperse dyes and carriers are provided.
