Direct Dyeing
A process where dyes are applied directly to the fabric without any fixing agent. Mostly used with cotton, paper, leather, wool, silk, and nylon.
Reactive Dyeing
A method where a dye forms a covalent bond with the fiber, resulting in high washfastness. Suitable for cotton, wool, silk, and nylon.
Vat Dyeing
Involves the insoluble dye being reduced in a vat to a soluble form, and the fabric is immersed in the vat. Used for cotton, wool, and other cellulosic fibers.
Acid Dyeing
A technique using dyes that are set in acidic conditions, often providing bright colors on animal fibers and some synthetics, like nylon and silk.
Disperse Dyeing
This method uses non-water-soluble dyes that are finely ground and dispersed in water, typically for dyeing polyester and other synthetic fibers.
Sulfur Dyeing
A low-cost dyeing method producing dark colors on cotton with dyes that are insoluble in water but have been reduced with sulfur or sodium sulfide.
Pigment Dyeing
Dyeing with insoluble colored particles affixed to the surface of the fabric with a binder. Used on a variety of fibers, including cotton and synthetics.
Ikat Dyeing
A technique where threads are dyed before they are woven into textiles, creating complex patterns. Typically used for cotton, silk, and other traditional weaving fibers.
