About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive, practical guide to modern dyeing methods for professionals and students.

This two‑volume reference covers the theory behind artificial coloring matters and the step‑by‑step methods used in today’s dyeing shops, with a focus on reliable results and practical handling.

The book explains how different groups of colours behave in diverse fiber types, and it includes techniques for direct cotton colours, sulphide (sulphide) colours, basic and mordant colours, and acid chrome colours. It also provides guidance on shading, fixing, and finishing, as well as methods for dyeing wool and silk with attention to fastness, milling, and after‑treatment. Readers will find practical discussions of mordants, chrome dyes, after‑chroming, levelling colours, and modern approaches like Metachrome mordants and chromate methods.
What you will experience:

• Clear, structured guidance on direct cotton colours, sulphide colours, and mordant colours
• Methods for acid chrome dyeing on wool and silk, with attention to fixation and after‑treatment
• Practical shading, levelling, and finishing techniques to improve colorfastness
• Insights into equipment, bath preparation, and problem solving in real-world dyeing

Ideal for readers who work with textiles, this volume is suitable for practical dyers, manufacturers, students, and colorists seeking tested, hands‑on techniques.
