Use Retayne on bought cotton fabrics to stop colour bleeding during washing. Helps improve wet fastness of direct dyes and to color paper pulp. It is helpful as an after treatment for Procion MX Reactive Dyes where washing facilities are not adequate for complete washout.
Retayne is a color fixative for commercially dyed cotton, linen and rayon fabrics that bleed. Use in the washing machine or treat by hand washing with hot water. Always test fabric before washing it for the first time. Only one application is necessary.

Synthrapol 472 & 118ml sizes

Syn-

Synthrapol is a mild soap specifically made for removing excess dye so that dried articles may be washed with other laundry.

When dyeing not all of the dye will react with the fiber being dyed. Excess dye, therefore, must be removed to prevent backstaining. Rinse the fiber as thoroughly as possible with a small amount of Synthrapol, then launder with one tablespoon per load. Synthapol suspends and carries the excess dye from the fiber.
