Carrageenan
-
A natural seaweed gelling agent that provides viscosity for marbling on fabric and paper
-
Prepare at least 12 hours in advance of use
Alum
-

Sodium Alginate
-
Derived from seaweed and is the most desirable thickener for procion Mx dye when screen printing, painting, or to control spreading
Sodium Alginate SH
-
Used primarily for cotton and cellulose fibres
-
It may also be used for silk when fine lines definition is not required
-
Once prepared solution can be stored in refrigerator for months
Urea
-
A humectant which attracts moisture from the air , keeping the fibre damp longer allowing a greater reaction time for the dye
-
Urea is used with sodium alginate thickener when printing, painting or directly applying Procion dye to fibre or is added to Procion dye
-
Urea is used when applying dye solutions directly to fabric eg. in tie dyeing and hand painting
-
It slows the drying time, therefore yielding deeper shades for super intense color
Methocel
-
It’s a synthetic less expensive to carrageenan, that provides a viscous surface for marbling on fabric and paper
-
It can also be used as a marbling medium
Calgon
-
Hard water can cause streaking and uneven color when dyeing
