Reactive CD Dyes (Cold Dyeing)
These reactive dyes are suitable for dyeing, printing, and painting on cotton, silk, and natural fibres. They are fully mixable with the Procion MX range.
Also available in 25, 50g, 100g pots online.
5kg and 10kg boxes are available, please contact the office.
Reactive CD Dyes are a popular choice for tie dyeing and ice dyeing, as they do not require any heat in the dye process. They are also ideal for batik work, as the cold dyeing process won't cause any damage to the wax.
A wide range of colours can be achieved, from pastels through to dark shades, using the following as a guide.
Per 100g of fabric:
0.1g-1g of dye - pastel shades
2g - 3g of dye - medium shades

You will need Soda Ash to fix this dye onto your fabric.
All of the dyes in this range can be mixed with each other to create your own colours.
