How do I die a 100% polyester tie from pink to black?
Answers: You need disperse dyes.
Disperse dyes be originally developed for the dyeing of cellulose acetate, and are substantially water insoluble. The dyes are finely ground within the presence of a dispersing agent and then sold as a mash, or spray-dried and sold as a powder. They can also be used to dye nylon, triacetate, polyester and acrylic fibres. In some cases, a dyeing warmth of 130 °C is required, and a pressurised dyebath is used. The very fine grain size gives a massive surface area that aids dissolution to allow uptake by the roughage. The dyeing rate can be significantly influenced by the choice of dispersing agent used during the grinding.
