Abstract

A surface active agent is comprised of lignin sulfonic acids, and optionally, an alkylaryl sulfonic free acid with at least 10 carbon atoms and a polypeptide having a molecular weight of about 2,500 to about 15,000. In addition, a disperse dye composition is provided which includes solid particles of a dye or pigment which have a particle size of less than 2 microns with the surface active agent disposed at the surface of the particles.
