Zinc Dust (Stabilised) – Indigo Vat Mordant

Stabilised Zinc Dust is a controlled reducing agent and mordant used in indigo and vat dye processes. It helps sustain the reduced state of the vat, ensuring strong, even indigo uptake with rich blue depth and excellent fastness.

Kraftkolour’s stabilised formulation offers improved safety and consistency compared to raw zinc powder, making it ideal for artisan workshops and professional dyers. Used with lime, it forms part of the classic indigo vat system that produces vibrant, long-lasting shades.

Benefits

For those who work with indigo regularly, stabilised zinc dust is an invaluable aid — consistent, efficient, and less reactive than traditional reducing agents. It ensures predictable vat behaviour for both beginners and experts.

Perfect For:

  • Indigo and woad vat dyeing
  • Vat maintenance and reduction processes
  • Advanced natural dye workshops and production studios
