Pigment dyestuffs are a very important class of dyestuffs in cotton printing and are generally insoluble in water and organic solvents, and have no affinity for textile fibers. For this reason, they are attached to the fiber with resin-based adhesives called binders. They are then subjected to a high temperature condensation process. The fastness properties of pigment dyestuffs are largely dependent on that of the binder. The quality and correct use of the binder directly affect the fastness properties.
