Aluminium Acetate

Aluminium Acetate is a professional-grade mordant specifically formulated for cellulose fibres like cotton, linen, and hemp. It offers superior colour yield and clarity compared to traditional alum when working with natural dyes. This fine, fast-dissolving powder allows dyes to bind evenly, producing crisp, luminous shades while maintaining the softness of the fabric.

It’s a favourite among experienced natural dyers for achieving vivid results on plant-based fabrics without the need for excessive additives. Once fixed, colours remain bright and washfast, even with repeated wear and washing.

Benefits

If you specialise in natural dyeing on cotton or linen, this mordant delivers the professional finish your work deserves. It enhances dye penetration and colour richness while reducing bleed and patchiness.

Ideal Applications:

  • Natural dye projects on cotton, linen, and hemp
  • Eco-printing and botanical dye work
  • Studio and classroom dyeing setups
