UNSPSC 12171507: Sulfur dye

Sulfur dyes are two part "developed" dyes used to dye cotton with dark colors such as the dark black in socks and the indigo blue of the common blue jean. These are some of the most extensively used dyes in the textile industry.

UNSPSC 12171507 Sulfur dye, a Commodity-tier code, addresses chemical dyes used in textile and fabric coloring applications where state and local governments procure materials for institutional laundry, uniform manufacturing, and fabric treatment. The code reflects purchasing for durable goods production and maintenance of government-issued textiles across correctional facilities, hospitals, military academies, and public utility workforces. State and local issuing bodies under this code include state departments (corrections, health, military affairs), county detention facilities, and municipal public works and fleet-management departments that maintain uniforms and institutional linens.
