Jacquard iDye and iDye Poly

iDye Poly is disperse dye that can be used to dye polyester, nylon, and acrylic. (Note that regular iDye is a direct dye that can be used only on natural fibers such as cotton; it can be mixed with iDye Poly to dye cotton/polyester blends.)


Message: Ik wil een jas verven van Polyester en polyamide. Welke verfmiddelen heb ik hiervoor nodig en waar zijn te koop in omgeving Breda. Graag in het Nederlands antwoord en via mijn e-mail a.u.b. Groetjes

Fortunately, I don't need to be able to speak Dutch to answer this question. To dye polyester, you will need to boil the garment with disperse dye. You can buy this dye in your area from Zijdelings; see http://www.zijdelings.eu . See their "DISPERSE VERF voor synthetische stoffen". 

To dye polyamide (nylon), you can use disperse dye or you can use acid dye. Both types of dye will work on nylon. We usually prefer acid dye for 100% polyamide. However, for a garment that contains both polyester and polyamide, disperse dye is preferable since it will color both materials.

In addition to the special dyes, you will need a very large stainless steel cooking pot, large enough for the garment to move freely. It takes a considerable amount of boiling to dye polyester. You cannot dye polyester at temperatures below 100°C.

For more information, see my page entitled "Dyeing Polyester with Disperse Dyes".
