Cold Pigment Dye

Cold pigment dyeing is a technique where pigments are applied to garments at lower temperatures, typically around room temperature, using a method that doesn’t require heat to fix the color. This process involves mixing pigment powders with a binding agent and water to create a dye paste, which is then applied to the fabric. After application, the garment is usually left to air dry, allowing the pigments to adhere to the fibers. Cold pigment dyeing is valued for its ability to produce rich, vibrant colors and detailed patterns with less energy consumption compared to heat-based methods. However, it often requires careful handling and post-processing to ensure colorfastness and durability, as pigments sit on the surface rather than penetrating the fabric.
