It is  generally  applied  in  a  solution  that  is  aqueous.  Dyes  may  also  require  a  mordant  to better the fastness of the dye on the material on which it is applied.

Classification of Dyes 

Dyestuffs can be classified by many methods as follows:
  
  • By their ionic (e.g. Cationic, anionic and non-ionic)
  • By their fiber dye abilities (e.g. on cellulosic, protein, polyester, polyamide etc)
  • By their names (e.g. Acid, direct, disperse, reactive, basic etc.)
  • By their chemical structures (e.g. azo, anthraquinone, stilbene etc)
  • By their origins (e.g. Natural, synthetic)
  • By their colors (e.g. Red, green, black etc.)
Classification of Dyes by their Names 
Though several classifications were available classification of dyes by their names is the
