The color is much more intense on acrylics than the disburse dyes, which were developed for polyester. This is the same dye that was in Jacquard's discontinued line of Wood and Reed Dyes. They are intensely bright, beautiful and easy-to-use, although they require a lot of heat. In fact, basic dyes may be used to color a variety of fibers (including silk and wool), but because they tend to have poor light- and washfastness ratings on anything other than acrylic, they are generally only used when other dyes (such as acid dyes or fiber reactive dyes) are not an option. They are more lightfast on Acrylic, which they were developed for. They are positively brilliant on wood! Not so hot on cotton and other cellulose fabrics for which Procion Fiber Reactive type dyes are best.
