Procion Dyeing

Fibre reactive dyes are a type of dye specifically designed for natural fibres such as cotton, silk, and linen. What makes them unique is that they form a permanent chemical bond with the fibre, rather than simply sitting on the surface. This results in colour that is exceptionally vibrant, long-lasting, and resistant to washing and fading.

They are most commonly used with an alkaline fixative, such as soda ash, which activates the bonding process. Because of their reliability and brilliance, fibre reactive dyes are widely favoured by textile artists and dyers seeking professional-quality results.
