Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information - General Population

For the consumer use ‘home-dyeing’ the procedure is limited to dyeing in a closed system (washing machine). Potential consumer exposure is minimised by the mode of application, use conditions (a washing machine is charged with the closed package) and safeguarded by the type of packaging (no opening/open handling of the dye preparation). The preparations for home-dying are either liquid formulations or ready-to-use solid preparations which do not allow exposure to the substance (e.g. sheath that is dissolved in the washing machine). Users from the general population are protected from any contact by the use of packaging that is not opened but directly charged into the washing machine when textiles are dyed at home. There is no open handling of the product. In addition, the use instructions provided with the textile dyes explicitly recommend the use of gloves and skirting for manual use of textile dyes. The consumers are anticipated to use at least gloves (supplied with the dye) to avoid staining of the hands. No exposure is expected to occur during normal use and handling during home dyeing.

The substance is used for dying of textiles. Due to the chemical reaction of the dye with the cotton during the dying process, the substance is covalently bound to the textile. It is therefore unlikely that the consumer is exposed to the dye from contact to the dyed textile.
