Dyepohjaiset

Dyepohjaiset is a Finnish term used to describe substances, materials, or processes that are based on dyes, i.e., soluble colorants, rather than pigments. In dye-based systems, color is carried by molecules dissolved in the medium and often bound to substrates through specific interactions, in contrast to pigments that are dispersed as solid particles. The term is commonly found in technical and industrial contexts.

Typical applications of dyepohjaiset approaches include textile dyeing, printing inks, coatings, and chemical sensing. Dye-based systems can offer vibrant colors and strong penetration into porous substrates, but colorfastness and light stability depend on the dye structure, fixation method, and the surrounding matrix. The choice between dye-based and pigment-based formulations depends on factors such as desired brightness, fastness, processing conditions, and substrate compatibility.

In Finnish technical language, dyepohjaiset is a compound form combining the English word dye with the Finnish suffix -pohjainen meaning based on or derived from. The term is mainly used in industrial and scientific discussions and is often contrasted with pigment-pohjaiset (pigment-based) formulations. Related topics include colorants, dyeing processes, and dye-sensitized technologies, which illustrate the broader category of dye-based colorants and their applications.
