 Converting a parent azo dye to a Glycoazodye may produce a small hypsochromic shift in the absorption spectra.Several properties may make Glycoazodyes an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional synthetic dyes.The increased hydrophilicity of Glycoazodyes allows for the elimination of surfactants, mordants, and salts, during the dyeing process and permits the aqueous dying of a variety of textiles at moderate temperatures and pressures.
