Sulphur Black is a sulfur-based dye primarily used for dyeing cellulosic fibers such as cotton. It produces deep black shades with excellent fastness properties, including resistance to washing, light, and perspiration. Sulphur Black is widely utilized in the textile industry for producing durable, cost-effective black fabrics. The dyeing process involves reduction and oxidation steps to fix the color onto the fiber, making it ideal for bulk production.
