ESSTECHROME Premier Range of Mordent Dyes:

ESSTECHROME requires a mordant in their application and which upon combination with the mordant deposit insoluble color on the substrate, e.g., dyes with metal chelating groups. Like the name suggests these dyes require a mordant. Mordant are substances of organic or inorganic origin, which combine with the coloring matter and are used to fix the same in the production of the color. For the purpose of this class, such materials as oils and sulfonated oils, soaps, fats and higher acids, are not generally considered as mordents, but as coming within the scope of “assistants” in dyeing. The mordant substances include such acids as tannic acid, sumac, gall nuts, bark extracts, oleic and stearic acids, and Turkey red oil; and metallic substances such as various combinations or soluble salts of chromium, aluminum, iron, copper, and tin. The latter, the metallic mordant, are more used than the acid mordents. Mordant’s improves the fastness of the dye on the fiber such as water, light and perspiration fastness. The choice of mordant is very important as different mordent’s can change the final color significantly.
