Rit Dye Vloeibare Kleurstof, voor Synthetische Stoffen, Grafietgrijs, 207 ml

It's done the job perfect first time

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.Picture: left, original color of Gortex . 2nd left Gortex jacket with Dyemore. 3rd USGI pants Para-Aramid blend. 4th USGI UP blouse/jacket poly cotton blend after washing and drying

L'ho usato per colorare un pezzo di giaccone in fibra poliestere elasticizzata al 400%, i due manicotti gialli accesi che escono dalle maniche e avvolgano le mani, in un giaccone da neve. Dato che questo giallo acceso era un pugno in un occhio in una giacca da neve che alla fine metto solo per la città, ho pensato di colorarli di nero, tinta più accettabile e in linea con il resto dei colori del giaccone. L'operazione è stata complicata in quanto ho dovuto isolare col cellophane tutto il giaccone per evitare schizzi, porre il tutto in equilibrio sopra il fornello per 10 minuti e misurare la temperatura del liquido costantemente a 80 /90 gradi: una sfida insomma. Sfida riuscita benissimo, il risultato sono 2 manicotti perfettamente neri, restati morbidissimi, senza perdere elasticità. Inoltre un po' di colore ha contaminato alcune parti della manica del giaccone, sporcando leggermente di nero le maniche. Mi sono preoccupato infatti, ma facendogli fare un giro di lavatrice ad acqua fredda è andato tutto via, lasciando il colore della tinta nero perfetto. Ottimo prodotto e devo dire che la chimica oggi ha fatto passi da gigante perchè una volta colorare capi sintetici era impossibile.
