CITRIC ACID MONOHYDRATE 100 G

Citric acid is a mild, odourless powdered acid, ideal for acid dyes (Jacquard). It can be used instead of vinegar to help fix acid dyes and exhaust the dye bath.

The more citric acid you add, the more dye will transfer to the fabric, and the clearer the dye bath water will become. This means the fabric will absorb more colour, resulting in brighter, longer-lasting colours.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Use approximately 15 g of citric acid for every 450 g of material to be dyed. Dissolve the citric acid in water first and add it to the dye bath. Do not pour the product directly onto the fabric or material.

The amount can be adjusted slightly depending on the colour and the dyeing process.

Caution:

Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with water for at least 15 minutes.

The price is for one 100-gram bag
