Other uses of aniline include the manufacture of rubber processing chemicals and the production of agrochemicals and dyestuffs. |
As the industrial revolution took hold increasing demand for alkali came from higher levels of production of dyestuffs, and bleach. |
In subsequent decades, a rainbow of other aniline dyestuffs were synthesized and made available to textile colorists. |
Textile dyestuffs typically include dyes such as acid dyes, basic dyes, direct dyes, disperse dyes, reactive dyes, sulfur dyes and vat dyes. |
Germany had a virtual monopoly of the production of artificial dyestuffs, in which the record of the Badische Anilin and Soda Fabrik at Ludwigshafen was outstanding. |
In 1913 these eight firms produced almost 90 percent of the world supply of dyestuffs, and sold about 80 percent of their production abroad. |
