Acrylic dyes & chemicals

Bright, even shades on acrylic and acrylic blends - cationic dyestuffs paired with the retarders and levelling agents that keep strike rate under control.

Overview

Vivid colour with controlled, level uptake

Acrylic fibre develops its strongest, brightest shades with cationic (basic) dyes. Because these dyes exhaust quickly, even dyeing depends as much on the auxiliary system as the dye itself. Our acrylic range combines high-purity cationic dyes with retarders, levelling agents and pH control so you get reproducible, blotch-free results across knitwear, yarn and blankets.
