Glauber Salt (Sodium Sulphate) is essential for dyeing with reactive dyes, especially turquoise shades, as it improves colour absorption and ensures even dye uptake. Unlike regular table salt, it is pH-neutral, free from iodine, and does not alter the fabric’s texture (hand).
In the dyeing process, Glauber Salt acts as a leveller, helping distribute dye evenly across the fabric. It plays a crucial role in three ways: driving the dye into the fibres, maximising dye exhaustion, and acting as an electrolyte to support dye migration, adsorption, and fixation. While not a dye fixative itself, it ensures the dye is properly positioned on the fibre before the alkali sets the colour.
