Jacquard Idye Polyester Dye: Black

This is incredible! Nearly fully restored my 100% polyester patio furniture. I say nearly because it could be a little darker, which is more obvious when you look underneath (but the important part is the surface so no big deal). I followed the instructions very carefully as others have suggested - pre-wet material, stir constantly for 30 mins to 1 hour - supposedly the longer you go the deeper the color, so I went to 55 minutes before my arms were completely exhausted as I needed it to get really dark. I bought a cheap 12qt stainless steel pot. You do need to be careful of the splash zone since you need it at a rolling boil the whole time, I’ve got a white tiling on my backsplash and didn’t think about it and it was too late to protect - the first splash left a few spots in the grout (the actual glossy tile was easy to wipe off), so be careful.

Let me start by saying I've dabbled in dying, but am not a serious dyer of things. I've dyed some doilies and such to hide staining (and to go with a macabre theme) using Rit Dyemore for synthetics. I got lovely dark grey's, but not BLACK. Now to this. I bought some cheap plastic net mesh material at Joann's on sale to use for a project, but it was ELECTRIC BLUE. I decided at the price it was, I'd dye it. Knowing I could never expect to achieve my desired end color with the Rit, I hit Amazon and started reading reviews. I settled on this, bought it, and eagerly awaited it's arrival. I'll tell you it worked with a dream now so you can stop reading if you just want to make sure it works. IT WORKS! Ok. Still with me? Holy CRAP did it work! I use a stainless steel stock pot and tongs when I dye things on the stove. I have always poured the dye water down my pink porcelain sink. I've needed to use a little elbow grease to get everything clean before, but not excessively difficult. THIS though? The electric blue had metallic glitter flecks. It is now a GORGEOUS metallic black shimmery wonder. Achievement unlocked. The stainless steel pot was cleaned with bleach this time. The sink was filled with a bleach solution and allowed to soak as it was a lovely shade of grey (an improvement in my mind, but we rent). There are a few spots on the pink countertop near the stove, but that's the next remodel task and it's starting to peel up in other areas. I was EXTREMELY CAREFUL! A single drop of this will stain even METAL almost immediately! It also smelled horrible. The fabric has been washed twice and still stinks. Luckily it's going to become a display rack for hair combs, so I don't really care that it's pungent. I will absolutely use this again, but OUTSIDE! We have a black folding table and we will be using that and our camp stove in future and that stock pot is now dedicated to this smelly messy wonderful process! Water to be poured on the blacktop! It says it can dye 3D printed objects and I completely believe it!

Didn’t work. Unfortunately this didn’t work and my clothes didn’t take to the black dye. Waste of money

I feel like I followed the directions to the T.. I even purchased a stainless steel pot large enough to fit the small 95% polyester/5% elastane dress I was trying to dye (which was primarily black besides the weirdly spaced out rose pattern I was trying to dye). I read in other reviews that the product smelled 'terrible' and people couldn't wear their clothes after, so I went in fully prepared for battle with a mask, fans blowing, windows open.. and I'd say it was mildly unfavorable. So my advice is maybe just don't put your face right above the pot your using & you should be fine cracking a window or two. It was easy enough to use, but time consuming. I used two packets, followed the directions & at first it looked like it dyed the dress decently, but it stained my dryer after washing it in the washing machine twice by itself. I needed the dress for an engagement shoot, and I'm not fussy so figured I'd just wear it anyways.. which I feel like I should I mention there was a blue-ish tint on my light grey couch after I briefly sat down (nothing a throw blanket can't hide I suppose), but the directions said to hand wash till the water runs clear or throw in the washer, and I did did both twice, so like I said maybe it was user error and I did something wrong? Just be careful and test if the color will transfer to other items you don't care about first! Hope this helps!

I have used this a few times to dye some of my vacuum formed visors for 3d prints, and it does it's job exactly like it should! The only issues I've had with it are that it tends to clump when putting it in water, so you have to stir well and make sure it's boiling. The scent is also not great at all. The color is perfect with the color intensifier, and it's overall easy to use! Definitely would recommend to 3D printers out there!

I have been in search for a jet black synthetic dye for months now. I have tried everything under the sun to dye this synthetic velvet piece I’ve had from Rit Dye (in the color graphite), to even attempting to use Sharpie and fabric markers as I was only trying to darken parts of the velvet. I usually use Rit Dye for all my synthetic dyeing, but if you are familiar with it, graphite is their darkest color in synthetic dye. Even when done correctly, this color will always turn out as a dark gray and not JET black. As for the markers… everything just washed out with one single cycle in the wash. I was running out of options until I did a deep dive here on Amazon and on Google for “the best dye for polyester fabric” and I was directed to this dye multiple times. I was worried that it would wash out/ the color intensity would be similar to the Rit Dye and the markers based on a few reviews, but as with everything take them with a grain of salt. That being said, this dye did everything I excepted it to and more. It comes out this gorgeous, jet black AND doesn’t wash out of synthetics the moment you put it through a laundry cycle. It comes in a powder and with a color intensifier. You use the traditional stovetop method with this dye (I suggest following the directions on the back of the packet for the best results). I kept my fabric in for about 35-40 minutes and couldn’t have been happier with the results! This is some of the highest quality synthetic dye I have used next to Rit. As long as you follow the directions and have a bit of patience, you’ll be dyeing beautiful jet black fabric with this dye!🖤🖤🖤

Great dye for synthetic fibers. Its a blue black so if you’re trying to do an obré be aware of that. Like other reviews have stated it does have a heavy ink/glow stick smell however that goes away throughout the process (drying,handwashing,drying again,etc) The packet the dye comes in does infact dissolve in the water, they didn’t show that in the video so if you had any doubts, it does work. I recommend this product

I was worried this wouldn't dye what I wanted it to bc I tried a different dye for natural fibers previously without doing any research. As it turns out the fabric type matters, shocking. And it did a great job, I dyed a bright orange patterned dress and it did turn it brown but I wasn't expecting that to go perfectly. I'm just glad it's not orange anymore. I also dyed a white dress and of course that went well.

Il prodotto è valido, un po' scomodo da usare, la polvere della bustina va ovunque, è talmente fine che non la vedi. Io ho finito due tende in poliestere e data la grandezza non avevo pentole abbastanza grandi da contenerle, ho deciso di metterle in lavatrice con un lavaggio da 60 gradi e il colore ha preso. Il problema e che dopo il lavaggio permane un'odore acre molto forte e consiglio un secondo lavaggio con un detersivo e un profumatore per bucato. La mia tenda era grigio chiaro e volevo portarla al nero, non è proprio nero ma grigio scuro. Attenzione a sommare il colore di partenza del capo con il colore della tintura, la scala dei colori non mente neanche qui. Se avete un rosso e mettete il nero verrà fuori il viola.

Après avoir diluer le colorant (noir) dans une bassine d'eau chaude, j'ai laissé le tissus (une toile de parasole rouge, une face délavée et l'autre bien rouge) dans la bassine durant 1h30 en remuant régulièrement. La toile n'a même pas foncé suite à son bain dans le colorant. 0 efficacité pour cet article vis à vis de ma toile. Soit le produit ne fonctionne pas Soit il n'est pas adapté pour ce type de tissus, alors le descriptif est erronée.

if your garment is polyester mixed with another type of fabric, the dye will only dye the polyester. Great product, easy to use

Fungerade utan anmärkning. Mina gamla urblekta golfbyxor blev som nya.
