Jacquard Idye Poly: Black

Product Information

They cannot be used in the washing machine or in cold water like other dyes. Some of the dyes made for natural fibers can work with poly/cotton blends, depending on the amount of polyester in the blend.

Although these dyes are intended to be used with synthetic fibers, the wide diversity of synthetic fiber types makes it challenging to ensure a consistent outcome. For optimum results, search for a dye that says it is developed for synthetics while you are purchasing, such iDye Poly. Advice:Inconsistent Results: Synthetic fabrics vary significantly in manufacturing processes and treatments, which can affect how the material absorbs the dye. This can lead to uneven color distribution or unexpected color outcomes. But what if you have a cotton-polyester blend? Don’t worry! Our versatile fabric dye is also the best choice for dyeing cotton-polyester blends. The blend of polyester and cotton fibers can be challenging to dye evenly, but with our product, you’ll achieve vibrant and consistent color every time. Chemical Reactions: Some dyes designed for synthetics contain disperse dyes, which require carrier chemicals when used domestically. These chemicals can pose health risks if not handled correctly. Damage from High Heat: Dyeing polyester usually requires high temperatures (often boiling) for the dye to penetrate the fabric properly. This intense heat could potentially damage delicate polyester items or cause shrinkage. Dyeing polyester and other synthetic materials can present several challenges due to the unique characteristics of these fabrics. Here are some potential risks and difficulties:

The best fabric dyes for polyester are made from synthetic, or man-made fibers. Polyester fabrics can traditionally be harder to dye. Dyeing some synthetics, like those that are stain-resistant, will be exceedingly challenging. Materials: Follow these easy steps. First, make sure to pre-wash the fabric to remove any sizing or chemicals that may interfere with the dyeing process. Formulated for synthetic fabrics, multiple colors available, works best with over 35% synthetic contentCan be used on many other fabrics including cotton, rayon, ramie, linen, and other blends that contain these fabrics as well Polyester and poly blends can be hard to dye. Sometimes the dye will bleed or won’t hold fast. In that case, consider using a dye fixative, which can be used in conjunction with other dyes. This fixative helps prevent the dye from bleeding, and fading over time and can be used to enhance the color of the dye. Can be used to dye apparel items, accessories, or even items around the home like pillow covers or curtains Most dyes that will work with polyester fabrics are specifically made for these fibers. They will usually require hot water to be used throughout the dying technique, and are often stovetop dyes.
