 About Astik Dyestuff

• Astik is one of the largest Reactive Dyes manufacturers in India.

• Since its inception in 1980 as mainly a Turquoise blue manufacturer named Mohita Dyechem, today, the
company has one of the most comprehensive product suites in the reactive dyestuff industry.
• The main headquarters is in Mumbai, India.
• Astik has 2 states of the art manufacturing facilities in Ankleshwar, Gujarat, and Tarapur, Maharashtra.
• Astik’s phenomenal rise and its “award” winning product suite is a result of 30 years of dedication and singular
focus on reactive dyes.
• Astik dyestuff exports the product worldwide including countries like the US, Brazil, Italy, UK, Portugal,
Germany, Thailand, and China.
 Reactive Dyes

• It is a colored compound that has a suitable group capable of forming a covalent bond between a carbon
atom of the molecule.
• Reactive dyes are known for their bright colors and are very good to excellent lightfastness and wash
fastness through poor resistance to chlorine bleach.
• Reactive dye is mainly used for cotton.it can also be applied to wool and nylon .
 Properties of reactive dyes

• Reactive dyes are cationic dyes, which are used for dyeing cellulose, protein and polyamide fibres.
• During dyeing the reactive group of this dye forms a covalent bond with fibre and becomes an integral part
of the fibre.
• Reactive dyes are soluble in water.
• Textile materials dyed with reactive dyes have very good wash fastness with a rating of about 4-5 due to
the strong covalent formed between fibre and a reactive group of the dye.
• Dyeing the method of reactive dye is easy.it requires less time and low temperature for dyeing.
• Reactive dyes are comparatively cheap.

• ETP Department
 R&D Department

The main objectives of the R&D department:

• Development of new products.
• Improvement in yield result for purpose of cost-effective dye.
• Green manufacturing initiatives.
• Improvement in product properties with respect to fastness properties, ease of dyeing, etc.
 R&D Department

• For developing, enhancing, and modifying the product to meet the varying needs of the
market, this department plays an important role.
• R&D occupies the center spread in the industry to success.
• The reactions carried out were: 1. Diazotization 2. Condensation 3. Coupling
• There is various parameter by raw material and product that can be tested like Nitrite value,
Coupling value.
• Nitrite value:
This method determines the unreacted amine. The equation for Nitrite value is as below:
The molecular weight of sample x N of NaN𝑂2 x Burette reading x 100
NV = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1000 x sample taken

• Coupling value
This method is used to estimate the amount of dye present in sample. The equation for Coupling value is
as below:
The molecular weight of dye x 𝑁 of 𝑇𝐼𝐶𝐿3 x Burette reading x Total volume
CV= -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1000 x Volume of sample
PH Meter:
It an is electronic device used for measuring the 𝑝 𝐻of solution. We know that P𝐻 is the most
important parameter for the synthesis of dyes.

Sonicator:
The act of applying sound energy to agitate particles in a sample for various purposes
Raw material require for the synthesis of Reactive yellow EPB

NO Process Chemical Name

Stage-1 Diazotization of Sulpho VS

-Diazo Compound Sulpho VS

-Dissolution of Diazo compound H2 O

-Diazotization process HCL & NaNO2

Stage-2 1st Coupling
Coupler Meta Phenylene Diamine 4- Sulphonic
Acid (MPDSA)
Stage-3 Diazotization of VS
Diazo compound VS
pH maintaining Sodium bi-carbonate
Diazo preparation:-

• Take SPVS powder in ice and water.

• Stirr for 10 minutes.
• Add 50ml HCL with maintaining the temperature between 0-5 0C.
• Slowly Add 15gm NaNO2 solution with checking charge of the solution(negative or positive)

• Maintain temperature at 15 to 18 0C. Check Congo red and SI paper.

• Stirr for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, add approximately a quantity of sulphamic acid to turn the solution negative.
• Once the solution’s charge gets negative we add a coupler.

Coupler preparation:-
• Charge MPDSA in the diazo solution.
• Maintain the PH between 5.5 to 6.5 by adding sodium bicarbonate.
Preparation of 2nd diazo

• Take VS powder in ice and water

• Add 19ml HCL with maintaining the temperature between 0-5 0C.
• Slowly Add 13gm NaNO2 solution with checking charge of the solution(negative or positive)
• Check Congo red and SI paper.
• Stirr for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour add the approx quantity of sulphamic acid to turn the solution negative.
• Once the solution’s charge gets negative ensure the temperature of 0-5 of both the solution.

• Add 2nd diazo in yellow EPB solution and maintain pH between 5.5-6.5.
