• Then…–1840s
• Company started life as James Robinson• Natural dyes traded such as logwood– mid to late 20th centuryy
• Rise and fall of sulphur dye business • Moved into:
– hair dyesy– photographic chemicals– fluorescent colorants– fuel markers• Now…
21st century– 21st century• Growth of photochromic dye business• Change of ownership (2008) and name (2010)

Hair Coloration: “Low Temperature Fibre Dyeing”
Wool and hair are both protein fibres but…
Wool• Traditionally dyed with:
Hair• Conditions restricted:
p
Traditionally dyed with:– acid dyes
• applied at boil• typically pH <4
Conditions restricted:– temperature– pH– timetypically pH 4
– chrome and mordant dyes• often as per acid dyes• heavy metals
– liquor ratio• Performance required:
– limited pre-treatment
– reactive dyes• fixation usually at the boil
• Processes all >1hr
– intensity– level coloration

Temporary Hair Dyes: Properties
• Relatively large cationic dyes• Similar to ‘basic’ dyes for acrylic fibre• Some even re-purposed textile dyes• Ad b d t h i fib• Adsorbed to hair fibre• Application in 5 minutes• Used in:Used in:
– shampoos– conditioners– mousses
• Lasts 1-2 washes

Permanent Hair Dyes: Mechanism and Properties
• Three main components:– primary intermediates (oxidation bases)– couplers– oxidant
• Reactive system:– components mixed– couplers and primary intermediates diffuse into hair fibresp p y– primary intermediates oxidised– couplers react with oxidised primary intermediates to form colorants
• Process typically takes 20-40minProcess typically takes 20 40min• Colorants relatively large in size:
– slow to diffuse out of hair fibrecoloration permanent

Photochromism: Definition
Photochromism
• “A reversible colour change induced in a compound driven in one or both directions by the action of electromagnetic radiation”

Photochromism: Limitations
• Medium– certain polymerscertain polymers
• Photostability– use of additives
• Mixtures– activation– fatigue– fatigue
• Application method– mass coloration– screen printing
• Reversibility
