Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate) – Dyeing Auxiliary for Reactive Dyes

High-quality Soda Ash (sodium carbonate) supplied by Kraftkolour, used as an alkaline dyeing auxiliary essential for the fixation of reactive dyes (such as Procion MX, Drimarene, Remazol). Used typically at 5-10 g per litre in dye­baths for Procion MX dyes

Benefits

  • Integral part of the dyeing process with reactive dyes—without it, colour fixation will be poor.

  • Provides consistent alkaline environment for predictable dyeing outcomes.

  • Versatile auxiliary that can be used in multiple dye-methods, making it good value for makers.

Ideal Applications:

  • When using reactive dyes (e.g., Procion MX) on cotton, linen or rayon — increases bonding strength and wash-fastness.

  • Batch dyeing studios, educational settings, textile makers needing reliable auxiliaries.

  • Home DIY valorisation of garments with reactive dyes.

  • Chemical role: raises pH, activates fibre-reactive dyes and supports strong dye-fibre bonding.
  • Recommended dosage with Procion MX dyes: 5-10 g/L of dye bath.
  • Available in multiple pack sizes (250 g, 500 g, 1 kg, 4 kg, 20 kg) to suit small hobby use or larger commercial runs

  1. Measure accurately — overshooting may affect fabric integrity and colour outcome.
  2. Use in conjunction with proper fixative instructions from dye manufacturer.
  3. Ensure good ventilation and use protective gloves — as raising alkalinity can cause skin irritation.
  4. After dye fixation, rinse fabric thoroughly to remove any residual alkali or unbound dye.
