mordant dyes
Dyes of varied constitution, all of which possess
an acid character. Because of the presence of
hydroxyl or carboxyl groups in their molecules
they are capable of forming lakes with metallic
mordants. The methods by which the mordant colors
can be attached to a fiber depend on the nature of
both the dyestuff and the fiber. (235 )
