Vietnam Knows Tie Dye Techniques

The term comes from “tied-and-dyed” and it is a form of resist dyeing. First you fold, twist, pleat or crumple a garment. Second you tie either string or rubber bands around the fabric. Thirdly you apply the dyes. The technique is called resist dyeing because you physically do things to the fabric to resist ink penetration. The rubber bands resist the penetration of the inks. Physical impediments like clamps, stencils, thick stitching and blocks resist the ink. Batik is another form of resist dyeing; wax is used to resist the penetration of ink. Tie dyeing is a creative art and Vietnam is very good at it. We can achieve colorful patterns that are psychedelic and unique. The styles we can make look just like the iconic designs associated with the hippy movement in the USA in the 1960s.

Tie-Dye Dye Stuff Available in Vietnam

There are four different types of dyes used in Vietnam. Household dyes like RIT are common but not used commercially. Household dyes like RIT are made with a variety of dye-stuffs so they can work on many kinds of fabric. The problem is that they bleed. Factories in Vietnam producing tie dye for export don’t use household dies. Fiber Reactive dyes work well on cellulose fibers such as cotton, hemp, rayon, and linen. These dyes react with fibers at alkaline conditions (high pH) and form a wash-fast, permanent bond. Soda ash (sodium carbonate) is used to raise the pH and initiate the reaction. The soda ash is added in a solution of water in which garments are soaked in before dyeing. Acid dyes work well on protein-based fibers such as silk, wool, feathers, nylon and polyester. Vat dyes, including indigo, are a third class of dyes that are effective on cellulosic fibers and silk. Our tie dye garment factory in Vietnam will use the best dye depending on the fabric type you choose.
