What is the acidic dye?

Acidical Dye is a type of dye that can be used to dye certain fabrics and is called acidic for acetic acid it contains. Clear and long -term colors are typical of acidic dye. The acidic dye is most effective on textile, which are made of animal hair fibers such as mohair, wool and alpaca. Silk, although they are not technically hair, also well staining. Most synthetic fibers do not respond well to acidic dyes, with an exception to nylon. Acid dyes are very easy to use and as such are well suited for domestic and amateur use. They produce a uniform color and are also very strong; Half of the ounce (14 g) dye can color up to two pounds (0.9 kg) of the material, depending on the exact shadow. Speed ​​as the substance colored by the dye controlled, although the use of salt in the mixture. The chemical process, which is the acidic dye of the binding to the fibers quite complex, and requires more than passing chemistry knowledge to fully understand. However, it is usually sufficientJust know that a particular dye chemistry is what controls the degree of color once the fabric is colored.

For fibers other than wool, the process of applying acid dye takes place in the washing machine. This is done by adjusting the water temperature knob to the position of hot washing/ cold rinsing and then filling the pad to the depth needed for all substances that will be colored. Once this level is reached, place the fabric in the water long enough to soak it, and then put it aside.

At this point, the dye powder is added to the water and left to dissolve. When it dissolves, the fabric is added and the distracted for a few minutes when about one cup (240 ml) is added. When the machine passes through the entire cycling cycle, the role of the dye should be completed. Once this process is done and the substance removed, the pad must be made at least one rinsing cycle to remove excess colorVO, which could otherwise be transferred to other clothes.
