Rit DyeMore Liquid Dye, Graphite, 7-Ounce

Used this as an experiment to dye old tactical gear mostly 500D and 1000D cordura, and inherently plastics and Velcro associated with that kind of gear. Water+tiny bit of dish soap or detergent and boil keep things moving don’t let anything settle or bunch up allow the dye to roam freely through the fabrics etc I let it boil for longer than instructions call for however they seems to take color in only a few minutes. Overkill, maybe. Did no harm. Even the plastic on the buckles tool color and not the kind you can nick off with your nail I mean on a molecular level. Very impressive. After I removed all my stuff fishing around for it in the pitch black water I let it sit as I did the post dye washing process ( tongs are much recommended for this entire project by the way ) I decided I would toss some more stuff in the hot dye some pouches different odd ball materials to see how the dye would take. Brought to boil again etc. it dyed just as good as the first batch. Really really effective fabric dye. Really affordable too. One thing was to make sure the fabric were thoroughly washed beforehand to removed dirt or soil that would circumvent dye penetrance and I did so with the rubbing the material against itself I a soapy solution. The results of my project came out a hundred times better than what I had expected. I used a hot place out doors they say it’s non toxic but dye vapor can’t be good for you in any context. I dyed coyote brown and FDE 500D and 1000D cordura materials to black and o couldn’t have wished for a better outcome. The fact that it even dyed the plastics on a molecular level as well just really put the icing on the cake.

I have been trying to re-color my fading 20 year old 100% Nylon Goretex jacket I love, sadly you can't buy this type jacket any longer with same quality and function. I tried the regular Rit dye at 180°- 190° it did not take at all. So I practiced on other nylon items ( I have tested many color/combos previously with USGI colors) and through watching and learning about other dyes I ended up on Rit Dyemore and the "just below boiling" recommended. I was worried the 200°+ would damage the garment. I have successfully dyed other items with nylon and cotton but this 100% nylon was different. The only thing I screwed up was the color mix to get an emerald green color. I was so caught up on getting it done since it was taking me longer than I had time for, from getting water to temp and the smell getting to my wife (first time I did this inside with dyemore due to weather) I poured in the whole bottle of graphite @#$%#. So this was Dyemore 50/Peacock Green and 50/Graphite. Pretty much a total waste of the green you can see the green a bit in the sun. We have not seen the sun for days so the picture is with artificial LED lighting. Heating up the 3 gallons of water took some time even on med high in a large water bath canner I bought specifically for this to set up on a turkey fryer base with propane tank outside. The problem is, I live in a very windy area and picking relatively calm days are few and far between with the open flame. I do set up wind blocks that help. A soon as I dropped it in the water after washing the jacket it started taking on a dark black color, so limiting the time in the mix would not have helped the darkness of the end product IMHO. So I went a full 30 min stirring constantly at no lower than 200°. I had an old oven thermometer I placed in the water and I let it get up to 210° so when I put in the cold jacket in it would not go below 200 and it worked great. Took out and washed 2X's and set out to air dry on porch. I think I could have pulled it out much sooner the leftover amount of dye for the other pieces proved this. I did put aluminum foil around the stove area to limit stain from the dye and cardboard on the tile/grout floor, glad I did. I would add, I like to use up all the dye so I did a USGI UCP pants, 85 rayon, 25 para- Aramid,10 nylon and a blouse/jacket 65 poly/35 cotton(put in first) and there was quite a bit of dye left to color them. I did not want to add the Goretex pants because I was afraid they would most likely not come out the same color. Since this worked I have to decide if I want to try and remove the dark color and try again or do the same to the pants. But I worry the 200° multiple times might degrade the material further. I applied water proofing for Goretex and they are shedding water great.

We used this to dye a pair of shoes. I used both the synthetic fabric dye AND the non-synthetic dye just in case. I know that many types of synthetic fabrics don't take dye well and I was quite skeptical about how it would turn out. There was some odd coloration of the sides soles at the end. They are more of an odd blue-grey with some splotches. Most of the fabric ended up a fairly nice shade of grey with the plastic ending up very black.

It worked fine for dying my cotton and polyester wool blend sweatshirt. If you follow the directions it seems to work very well. I think I could have died a couple of more things in the same water and had good results. I have not washed this item since I dyed it, but I noticed that the charcoal gray color is fading after a few months. At this rate I think it will take two or three years for it to wear out enough that I would want to re-dye it.

Used to dye 100% polyester curtains that were originally a cream color. First ordered 1 bottle of the gray and followed directions, boiling away for over an hour. Result was dismal and they almost looked blue. Decided perhaps I should try th black (called graphite) and up the ante with two bottles since th curtains were ruined anyway. The result is ok (though it should be noted that my deep sink is now darker black stained than the curtains!) Going darker and more concentrated seemed to be the trick, though the results came out unevenly. Thankfully of the 4 curtains in 3 sides of the room, only 2 are beside each other, so I was able to pair the two closest right beside each other. Also, the unevenness in color can probably be sort of hidden when shades are up and bunched (and at night wh they're down, it'll be dark.) Overall...meh. But I actually went to the State science fair in high school with a project dying fabric, so I'm no amateur. That said, this new synthetic dye did much better than the dye I used back then.improvement, but not perfect. On a side note, I throw a grubby old cotton blanket in the dye bath before I drained it and it came out a nice, deep gray. Picture shows original fabric, original next to (wet) gray batch, and then final product after black batch and wash and rinse cycle in washer.

Tres bon produit je l’utilise pour teindre mes produits synthetiques

I bought this to dye my synthetic Tape in hair extensions and it worked GREAT!!!!!!!

Produkten kom aldrig fram. Ingen hjälp av firman.

Good product. Worked as per the expectation.

J'ai tâché une doudoune rouge vif en polyester 100 % avec de l'huile de moteur, impossible donc de retirer les tâches mais juste les atténuer.. J'ai acheté cette teinte en couleur anthracite gris, le résultat est impeccable par contre pas du tout un gris anthracite mais un joli rouge bordeaux effet très naturel.. Par contre j'ai procédé de cette façon j'ai mis ma doudoune avec sa capuche et sa ceinture dans le tambour de ma machine est mis en programme coton 60 degrés lorsque le linge était bien mouillé après par exemple 20 minutes de mise en marche j'ai intégré dans le fond de mon tambour la teinture... La couleur et très uniforme contrairement à d'autres personnes dans les commentaires qui ont fait en bassine et le résultat était qu'il y avait tâche partout semblerait t-il.. donc bon produit mais pas magique pour souhaiter les couleurs vraiment viser pour ma part le résultat me convient tout à fait on ne voit plus du tout les anciennes taches d'huile et le rouge obtenu est vraiment très joli C'est pourquoi je recommande ce produit
