Definition von azo dye im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
any of a large number of yellow to red synthetic dyes that contain an azo or diimide (-N=N-) functional group
Any of various red, brown, or yellow acidic or basic dyes derived from amino compounds. Any of a large class of synthetic organic compounds, dyes containing two nitrogen atoms joined by a double bond (see bonding, covalent bond) in the form NN as part of their molecular structure. More than half the dyes in commercial use are azo dyes. They are usually classed according to the fibres for which they are useful or the methods by which they are applied; direct dyes are absorbed from solution by the fibres, but others require a second solution (a mordant) or a second step before the colour is fast
