Tannic Acid – Oak Bark & Leaf Extract

Tannic Acid is a natural plant-based mordant derived from oak bark and leaves, used to improve dye adhesion on cellulose fibres such as cotton, linen, and hemp. It is an essential companion to alum or aluminium acetate mordants in natural dyeing, helping increase colour depth and fastness while adding natural tone richness.

This high-quality oak-extracted powder from Kraftkolour blends easily with water and delivers reliable performance across a range of dyeing techniques. When used correctly, it helps cellulose fibres hold onto natural dyes more effectively, ensuring stronger, more even colour.
