Pigment Dyeing Overview
BACKGROUND
V Pigment dyeing is not really " dyeing"
in it's truest form.
V Pigments are insoluble in water. They
are milled into a paste for garment
dyeing purposes.
V The process is complete when a
binder is added to "lock" the pigment
into place.
PURPOSES
TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT
V Pigments are generally used for light
to medium dyeing for fully fashioned
garments and for indoor cloth such as
wall covering, furniture, table cloth
and bed sheets…
V Pigments are also used to achieve
dark shades for outdoor fabrics like
TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT
tents, stores, awnings…
V The process is attractive when dyeing
cotton/synthetics fabrics in a single
phase.

HIGHLIGHTS & TIPS
V Compatibility of all chemical &
pigment is important for the
whole process to run correctly
V AVCO pigment dyeing process is
developed thanks to our
experience from production for
many decades
V Drying at maximum
TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT
temperatures 100°C to 150°C is
VITAL to achieve curing and good
rub fastness. NO moisture should
be left in the fabric. This is called
“BONE DRY”.
V Similar shades should be dried in
the same drums in order to avoid
staining.
