Auxilary Supplies

This section consists of agents which are useful in the dying process and some assorted tools which we have found to be handy and at times, indespensible.

 

Thiourea Dioxide Thiourea dioxide is a reducing agent and an excellent substitution for sodium hydrosulfite in color stripping and discharge. It is safer to use, has a greater strength, and does not lose its strength over time. It can be used for stripping cellulose fiber or bleaching wool or silk. It must be used in a well ventilated area or outside.

Sodium Metabisulphite Sodium metabisulphite is used to neutralize cotton that has been bleached. After bleaching, soaking in a solution of metabisulphite prevents the deterioration of cotton fibers by bringing the pH back to neutral.

Transfer Pipette This is a versatile tool for dispensing, transferring, and storing liquid dye solutions. It dispenses from 1 to 10 ml in 0.2 increments. It comes with 3 metal nibs of varying sizes. It is also handy for applying fine pen-like lines of thickened dye, fabric paint, or resist.
