Notes from the lab.
Technical notes from our team on pretreatment, dyeing, finishing and denim-washing chemistry.
- How to choose a pretreatment detergent for consistent scouring
Uneven scouring is the most common root cause of patchy dyeing. Here's what to check before you standardise on a detergent.
- Levelling agents in reactive dyeing: what they actually do
Levelling agents don't fix a bad recipe, but they buy you the time and control a good one needs to land evenly.
- Getting consistent enzyme wash-down effects on denim
Enzyme washing replaces a lot of mechanical stone damage, but only if temperature and pH stay tightly controlled batch to batch.
