Scope
GB/T 2387-2025 is the English-translated version of 反应染料 色光和强度的测定.
GB/T 2387-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering shade and strength of a reactive dye — the dyeing and fixation under controlled conditions and the soaping that removes the unfixed dye, without which the comparison measures hydrolysed dye instead of what actually bonded to the cotton. Issued on 29 August 2025, it has been in force since 1 March 2026, replacing GB/T 2387-2013.

3 Terms and Definitions
The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 6687 and the following apply to this document.
3.1 X-type reactive dye
The dye molecular structure contains a reactive dye with dichlorotriazine active groups.
3.2 K-type reactive dye
The dye molecule contains a reactive dye with a monochlorotriazine active group.
3.3 KE-type reactive dye
The dye molecule contains two reactive monochlorotriazine groups.
3.4 KN-type reactive dye
The dye molecule contains a reactive dye with a beta-vinylsulfone active group.
3.5 M-type reactive dye
The dye molecular structure contains two different active groups. monochlorotriazine and beta-vinyl sulfone.
4 Principles
Use the reactive dye sample and the same type of standard sample to color on cellulose fiber or wool under the same conditions, and then use the standard sample to
