First published in 1925, now published on the web by the Society of Dyers and Colourists and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, it is the only authoritative international reference work on these colorants: their nomenclature, constitution, main applications and suppliers.
Colorants are listed according to the widely acclaimed system of Colour Index Generic Names and Colour Index Constitution Numbers. A detailed record of products available on the market is presented under each Colour Index reference. Against each product name is listed the manufacturer, physical form, principal usages and comments supplied by the manufacturer to guide prospective customers.
It is published on the web in two parts as follows:
Part 1 covers pigments and solvent dyes, widely used in the paint, plastics, ink and other coloration industries.
Part 2 covers dye classes used in a very wide range of industries. The main dye classes are: acid, basic, direct, disperse, food, fluorescent brightener, mordant, reactive, sulphur and vat, plus several other classes of minor or historical importance.
