Methods of obtaining
Madder content natural dye is derived from the stamps and roots of the Rubia plant, which has been used for centuries as the most important dye plant for producing vibrant red color. The Rubia plant has been cultivated for a long time, and no new species have been developed, but the cultivated and wild madder are identical. Our dyeing process involves soaking the Rubia plant at room temperature and extracting it at 70-80°C to produce a rich and vivid natural dye. Our commitment to using only natural ingredients and sustainable processes ensures that our dyes are environmentally friendly and safe for use on all types of natural fiber-containing textiles. With natural Rubia dye, you can count on your textiles to be beautifully colored and produced with the highest quality materials.
Production Process
A strict quality control process is followed for the production of high quality powder and pigment products. The process begins with quality control testing of raw materials to ensure only the best materials are used. Next, the raw materials are ground to a fine consistency before being extracted in water. The extract undergoes evaporation and drying before undergoing another round of grinding. Batch mixing is then carried out to ensure a uniform blend of materials. Quality control testing is performed again to ensure the final product meets global standards. The product is then packed and supplied to the customers. We are proud to offer products available in both powder and pigment form as a range of options to choose from.
Dyeing Process
Natural fibres don’t have enough affinity to natural dyes. Therefore, a pre-treatment called “mordanting” should be done to increase the affinity of the fibres. It is also known as cationization. This process is the most crucial part because even dyeing mostly depends on even cationization of the fabric.
After mordanting and rinsing the fabric, the next stage is dyeing bath. During dyeing, dosage sequence and time should be followed carefully to have evenly dyed fabric.
The soaping step is then performed to remove any residual dyes off the fabric, improving both dry and wet rubbing fastness. It is an important step to be able to have good fastness results. The soap is also special and dedicated for natural dyes.
By following this meticulous dyeing process, we create high quality and sustainable textiles that meet the needs of our customers.
