Jacquard - Permanent Dyeset Concentrate

Permanent Dyeset Concentrate

Set silk and wool dyes permanently without steaming equipment

Chemical fixation eliminates the need for steam-setting equipment when dyeing protein fibers. Jacquard Permanent Dyeset Concentrate bonds acid dyes to silk and wool through a room-temperature bath process, making professional results accessible without specialized steamers or pressure cookers. Mix one ounce of concentrate per quart of water; three quarts handles approximately 45 square inches of fabric, though you'll want to calculate based on your specific project size and fabric weight.

The process works through chemical interaction rather than heat, fixing dye molecules permanently to protein fiber structures. This matters for hand-dyers working in home studios, production dyers processing multiple colorways, and anyone creating dyed yardage without access to commercial steaming equipment. Colors achieve the same permanence and washfastness as steam-set dyes, withstanding repeated laundering without fading or bleeding.

Concentrate format means you mix only what each project requires rather than storing diluted solution. Works with all Jacquard acid dyes and most other acid dye formulations designed for protein fibers. The chemical fixation method opens up silk painting, immersion dyeing, and hand-painted yardage techniques to artists who previously avoided acid dyes due to equipment limitations.
