Reactive CPD

Reactive dyes with a "cold pigment look" offer a unique and versatile option for dyeing textiles. These dyes combine the permanence and colorfastness of reactive dyes with the muted, vintage appearance often associated with pigments. Here's a brief explanation of this fascinating textile dyeing concept:

Reactive dyes are well-known for their ability to chemically bond with the fabric fibers, resulting in excellent colorfastness and durability. Traditionally, they produce vibrant and intense colors on textiles. However, the "cold pigment look" introduces a twist to the reactive dyeing process.

To achieve this vintage and slightly faded appearance, manufacturers modify reactive dyes by altering their chemical composition or applying them in unique ways. The term "cold" refers to the lower temperatures at which these dyes are often applied, compared to traditional reactive dyeing methods. This lower temperature helps maintain the appearance of the dye and prevents it from fully saturating the fabric, resulting in a softer, more muted coloration.
