Acid Dyes

Vibrant Colors for Protein-Based Fibers

What Are Acid Dyes ?

The perfect choice for protein-based fibers like wool, silk, and nylon. Known for their exceptional color vibrancy and evenness, acid dyes are a popular choice among artists, fashion designers, and fiber enthusiasts. Acid dyes, also known as anionic dyes, owe their name to the mild acidic conditions required for the dyeing process. The dyes form strong ionic bonds with the fibers, ensuring excellent colorfastness and durability, even after repeated washing.

From rich, deep hues to soft pastels, acid dyes offer an impressive range of colors to suit any project. Applying acid dyes is simple and straightforward. Dissolve the dye powder in water, add a mild acid like white vinegar or citric acid, and immerse your pre-washed fiber into the dye bath. The dye molecules will attach to the fibers, creating a lasting bond that resists fading and bleeding.
