When the instructions are followed correctly the dye ranges have a high absorption rate. This means that approx 90% of the dye transfers to the fabric from the water with reactive dyes. This greatly reduces the amount of waste dye which goes down the drain – one of the reasons they are low impact dyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso, they don’t contain any toxic chemicals and, unlike natural dyes, they don’t require\u003cbr\u003eany toxic mordants (polyvalent metal ions) to completely fix the dye to the fabric.\u003cbr\u003eNatural doesn’t always mean harmless.  The concentrated nature of\u003cbr\u003eColourcraft Colours \u0026amp; Adhesives High Quality Low Impact synthetic dyes means that only\u003cbr\u003ea little is required to achieve excellent consistent results that are vibrant, fade resistant,\u003cbr\u003elight fast and colour fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstructions for use : https:\/\/colourcraft.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/INST-Procion-Instruction-Sheet.pdf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur range of low impact dyes are non toxic to both the environment and the people who use\u003cbr\u003ethem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcion Dye Ordering Guide:\u003cbr\u003ePASTEL SHADE 1g – Per 100g Fabric (Dry weight)     PDV Salt 60gms    Fixer (Soda Ash) 10gms\u003cbr\u003eMEDIUM SHADE 3g – Per 100g Fabric (Dry weight)   PDV Salt 70gms    Fixer (Soda Ash) 20gms\u003cbr\u003eDEEP SHADE 5g – Per 100g Fabric (Dry weight)         PDV Salt  80gms   Fixer (Soda Ash) 30gms\u003cbr\u003eFor Black and very intense shades use double the quantity of dye.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colourcraft","offers":[{"title":"Orange","offer_id":55709352788343,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ultramarine","offer_id":55709352821111,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Emerald Green","offer_id":55709352853879,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turquoise","offer_id":55709352886647,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vivid Lemon","offer_id":55709352919415,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Violet","offer_id":55709352952183,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":55709352984951,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Bright Red","offer_id":55709353017719,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Olive Green","offer_id":55709353050487,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black","offer_id":55709353083255,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0076\/2288\/5428\/files\/procion-dyes.jpg?v=1756812069","url":"https:\/\/craftandcanvas.live\/products\/procion-mx","provider":"Craft and Canvas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
