ALUMINIUM ACETATE is used as an alternative to Alum for dyeing cellulose and proteins with natural dyes because it gives richer colours and is recommended if you’re printing with natural dyes and plant materials. Using Calcium Carbonate [chalk] will help fix it to the fibre. Usually used at 5% to 8% WOF.
We are currently stocking the Aluminium Triacetate format (CAS 139-12-8) which has strong results with both cellulose and protein fibes.
