Description
Jacquard Procion MX Brilliant Orange 020 cold water fiber reactive dye. Cold water, fiber reactive Procion MX dye is the most vivid dye for cellulose fibers.
Procion MX dyes are “cold water dyes” that are fixed chemically rather than with heat. This unique property sets them apart from other fabric dyes and establishes them as the undisputed king of backyard dyeing, batik and tie dye.
Because Procion MX dyes is used away from the stovetop, they are ideal for shibori, ice dyeing, tub and low water immersion dyeing, as well as printing, direct painting and other “alternative” dye applications. As a fiber-reactive dye, Procion MX forms a strong covalent bond with cellulosic fibers, making it the most permanent and wash fast of all dyestuffs.
Mix the concentrated dye powder with tap water to create the most vibrant colors possible for cotton, linen and other plant-based fabrics. You can also use with protein fibers if acidified. Procion MX dyes are typically used with a soda ash fixative, which can be added directly to the dye bath or used to pretreat the fabric as in tie dyeing and other “batch setting” techniques. Typically, one 2/3 oz bottle will dye more than 1 lb of dry fabric. However, very bright colors will require more dye and pastel colors will require less.
