[Chemical Knowledge]:How to use the color fixing agent

Fixer is a chemical often used in dye work. Fixer is a very useful tool when you want to preserve the color of the dye on the fabric and prevent it from fading. However, the use of fixing agents needs to follow the correct steps and guidelines, otherwise it may cause color distortion or simple dye failure. In this article, we will discuss how to use the fixing agent correctly.

First of all, you should choose the right fixing agent. Different types of fixing agents are suitable for different types of dyes. After figuring out the type of dye you will be using, you can choose the fixing agent that suits you from a specialized chemical store or department store. Make sure that the color fixing agent selected is suitable for your dye type. Otherwise, the color may be distorted or the dye will not be fixed.

Once you have the right fixing agent, you can start preparing the dye. Typically, dyes will be purchased online or sold in specialized dye/craft supply stores. Follow the manufacturing instructions for the dye to ensure that the color you want is achieved. If you are not sure how to make dyes, you can consult a specialized dye manufacturer or find relevant information online.

Next, you need to prepare for the fixing agent. This involves preparing a vat, pouring the fixative into it, and adding the right amount of water. Follow the instructions on the packaging of the fixing agent. Make sure that the fixing agent is fully dissolved in water. If the items you fix are small, you can also pour the fixing agent into a large bowl. Before

fixing, wash the object to be dyed to remove any dust or impurities that may be present. Place the item in a bucket or bowl, making sure that the item is completely soaked in the fixative and water mixture. Keep the item in it for a certain amount of time, the length of time is related to the material and color you want to dye. In general, the time is between 30 minutes and one hour.

After completing the fixing process, you need to take the item out and wash it with a lot of cold water to remove any residues of fixing agent and dye. Make sure to repeat the washing several times to fully bleach the article, especially during the initial dyeing. Allow items to dry naturally or at low temperatures.

In short, if you follow the correct steps and guidelines and use the fixing agent correctly, you can protect the color of the dyes and make them last longer on the fabric. Remember, it is very important to choose the right fixing agent and dye so as not to cause color distortion or the dye cannot be fixed. Don't worry about trying different color and dye combinations and enjoy making your own custom dyed fabric.
