CUSTOMSET PROCION MX REACTIVE DYES
(Easy, versatile, permanent, and the most popular of all of our dyes.)
CUSTOMSET Reactive Dyes (Procion) dye cellulose fibers -- plant based fibers like cotton, linen, ramie, hemp, viscose rayon, bamboo, jute, paper, wood,
basket reed, even silk at room temperature, 75° - 95° F.
With a different procedure these dyes work on protein fibers (wool).
They are completely intermixable and have excellent wash and light fastness.
Two ounces (58 gms) of dye will color 3 pounds or 14 yards of cotton muslin to a medium shade in a solid shade dye bath, or 12 T-Shirts for tie dye.
This dye can be used for tie-dyeing and other craft projects!
CustomSet dyes are high quality, fiber reactive dyes that can be applied at room temperature. These brilliant colors have excellent light fastness, wash fastness and wet fastness properties.
Black and Turquoise yield deeper colors useing 2X as much dye::
Dyeing Procedure: ( Soda Ash Soak)
**The better method for Tie-Dye**
Always remember to wear gloves, dust mask and eye protection when useing any dyestuffs and chemicals!!
1. Fold and tie the fabric. For best results all fabric should be pre-washed in hot water and a detergent such as C-Pol 3.
2.
2. Soak tied fabric in soda ash solution until saturated. Solution should be about 8 oz. of soda ash per gallon of warm water. Use less soda ash on silk. Wring out fabric but do not rinse. You may use fabric wet or damp. As a side note we add up to 100 to 200% sodium sulfate owg for deeper colors and better exhausting of dyes. This of course is optional.
3.Apply the dyestuff any way you like: Squeeze bottles, paint brushes, sponges etc. Use as many colors as you want to. See dye formula below:
8 oz. cup of warm water. Usually around 105 F
Add 2 to 8 tsp. of dye: Most dyes use 2 tsp.
Turquoise, Aqua, use 4 to 8 tsp.
Blacks use 4 to 8 tsp. use 2 to 4
tsp. salt for darker blacks.
Tip: Less dye: light to pastel shades
More dye: Medium to Dark shades
Next you can add 1 tbsp Urea. ( Dissolve in hot water first) This will help thicken the dyestuff and will help to prevent it from spreading to quickly. As a note sodium sulfate will aid in this matter also.
If you have hard water add about 1/4 tsp of calgon.
4. Put the fabric (still tied) in a plastic bag. This will help keep the fabric wet and chemically active for at least 4 hours, preferably 24 hours to cure the dyestuff. For a little brighter and deeper colors place the bag in a warm area.
5. Rinse and wash out: Remove the fabric from the plastic bag and while tied begin to rinse off the excess dye under cold running water. You may use a faucet, hose or shower. Keep rinsing while you untie the fabric and the water begins to run fairly clear. Wash in the washing machine in hot water useing C-Pol 3. Do not over-load as water may get too muddy and your tie-dyes may as well.
**Delicate items such as Rayon or Silk should be hand washed or washed in a mesh bag.
**Blacks may be dyed at hotter temperatures: From 105 F to 150 F Salt may be used, 4 to 8 tsp. in the dyeing process for deeper and darker blacks.
