The present invention relates to novel direct dyes and compositions comprising them for dyeing keratin fibers especially human hair. The novel dyes of the present invention have benzothiophene structure providing intensive and homogeneous dyeing on keratin fibers, especially human hair.

Solution comprising about 1 to about 25 wt % of a dye that loses its colour during radical cure and about 75 to about 99 wt % of a solvent mixture, said solvent mixture comprising cyclopentanone and dimethylsulphoxide in a weight ratio of about 60:40 to about 95:5.

The disclosure relates to a method for improving the alkali resistance and oxidation resistance of a benzisothiazole disperse dye, and belongs to the technical field of textiles. In the disclosure, azo alkali-resistant disperse dyes with benzisothiazole as a diazo component are synthesized based on structural design of the dyes, the alkali resistance and oxygen bleaching resistance of the heterocyclic azo disperse dyes are improved by introducing different groups to a coupling component, a series of benzisothiazole disperse dyes having gradient differences in alkali resistance and oxidation resistance are obtained, disperse dyes capable of meeting requirements of a one-bath process for cotton bleaching and disperse dyeing of a polyester-cotton blended fabric or a one-bath process for alkali deweighting and disperse dyeing of polyester fabrics are determined, and a reference can be provided for structural design of disperse dyes with alkali resistance and oxidation resistance.

Solution comprising about 1 to about 25 wt % of a dye that loses its colour during radical cure and about 75 to about 99 wt % of a solvent mixture, said solvent mixture comprising cyclopentanone and dimethylsulphoxide in a weight ratio of about 60:40 to about 95:5.

Provided are a sublimation thermal transfer sheet and a combination of a sublimation thermal transfer sheet and a transfer receiving article that meet the demand for increase in the density of a color image to be formed, that prevent decrease in the adhesiveness of a protective layer optionally formed on the color image.

In a sublimation thermal transfer sheet including a substrate and yellow, magenta, and cyan colorant layers provided on one surface of the substrate, the yellow, magenta, and cyan colorant layers each contain at least a binder resin and a sublimable dye having a molar absorption coefficient of not less than 50000 and a molecular weight of not more than 650, and the average of the mass ratios of the respective binder resins and sublimable dyes (sublimable dye/binder resin) in the yellow, magenta, and cyan colorant layers is not less than 0.7.

This invention relates to electrophoretic fluids comprising a solvent, a dye, white particles, and colored particles selected from red, green, blue, magenta, cyan, yellow particles, and mixtures thereof, and electrophoretic display devices comprising such fluids.
