Acid Dyeing Even though nylon is a synthetic fiber, it can be dyed using the same acid dyes used on other fibers like wool. Classically, this dye recipe requires the following: Dissolve salt and dye in plenty of water to thoroughly immerse the material with space left for movement Heat this concoction to a simmer for 10 minutes Add vinegar and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes Allow time to cool and rinse out gradually Disperse Dyeing This method is usually used on polyester fabric, but also works for nylon.
The process for this method goes as follows: Slowly add 50gm preferred thickener to ml of cold water Stir vigorously to dissolve the powder Use gm disperse dye depending on how much color is desired Sprinkle into ml of tepid water Stir Vigorously and leave stand for 5 minutes Place the paint onto a non-absorbent and smooth paper and allow to dry Place paint against the fabric, using newspaper underneath Iron for minutes Other Ideas for Dyeing Nylon Tye-Dyeing Fiber Reactive Dyeing All-Purpose Dyeing Natural Dyeing Discharge Dyeing Whatever method you choose, Ravenox can supply you with the best nylon rope available for your project.
When you take up the dyeing project, there is a lot to learn before you start dipping the clothing into the pot to change its coloring. This is a good option as there are many colors you can work with. Then if you pick up special dye packs, for example, Easter egg coloring, you should have access to a lot more colors.
This may be your hardest task in the whole process. Usually, 10 drops of food coloring will do the trick and if you want a lighter color then reduce the number of drops you use.
Add a few more if you want to go darker. If the fabric weighs more than a pound, then you will need to add more drops just to maintain the color. This means you should weigh the material before putting it in the water to make sure you know if it is a pound or less.
Your results will differ from others and food color dye may not last a long time. Be prepared to do this again if that happens. Coffee is generally best used with natural fibers like cotton and linen. When used on nylon the color you get maybe a murky brownish tone that is not that attractive.
Synthetic fibers do not absorb coffee that well. If you decide to go ahead and use coffee, then wash the fabric first so that it is free from any contaminates. Then brew a lot of coffee if you want a darker color. You need about a pot so the amount of coffee you use will depend on the color tone you want on your fabric. Next, add the brewed coffee to the pot of water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat off and add your fabric.
The longer you keep the fabric in the coffee dye, the darker the tint you will get. When you see the color tint you want, remove the fabric and rinse it off in cold water until the water runs clear. Wash and dry like normal for nylon and you should have a nice coffee dyed outfit. But as we said, coffee is better with natural fibers so your results may not be that exciting when you use nylon. Kool-Aid or some other drink mix will work with nylon as well.
The most important part of using this food product in dyeing nylon is to use 1 package for every pound of clothing you are dyeing. Also, you need the drink mix variety that is sugar-free and also free from sugar substitutes.
If you use the alternatives then your nylon is not going to come out looking like it belongs in a museum. It is going to look like a real mess. There is one positive out of all of this. Kool-Aid or drink mix dyes do not wash out. There is something to be concerned about. If you dye nylon in this manner with an alkaline pH and soda ash instead of acid, nylon will not be colored or will only be colored temporarily. This article explained if you could dye nylon in detail.

Can you tie dye a black shirt? Most fiber reactive dyes , such as those commonly used to dye cotton and rayon, cannot react with nylon. However, fiber reactive dyes can, as a rule, be treated exactly like acid dyes, with the addition of small amounts of acid such as vinegar and with the necessary application of heat.
When used with an acid dye recipe, a fiber reactive dye actually acts as an acid dye. In my experience with Procion MX dyes, nylon typically dyes to a paler shade than silk dyed under the same circumstances, but sometimes more intense than that achieved by wool. See Fiber reactive dyes on protein fibers. Although wool will dye with Procion MX dyes at basic high pHs, nylon will not; nylon will either take a pale and temporary stain, or remain completely white, when dyed with Procion MX dyes and soda ash.
Most all purpose dyes , such as Rit dye and Dylon's Multipurpose dye, contains two kinds of dye, mixed together - 'direct' dye which does a fair job of dyeing cotton, and 'leveling acid' dye which will dye both wool and nylon.
It is best to use pure acid dyes on nylon, instead, as you can see more clearly what color you will end up with, and you avoid wasting money on the direct dye portion that cannot stick to nylon, and you can choose to use acid dyes about which more detailed information is available. However, if you are in a hurry and do not wish to wait for mail-order, all purpose dye is readily available in many grocery stores and pharmacies.
Many natural dyes are acid dyes, which work well on nylon if heated in a dyebath with an acid, such as vinegar or citric acid.
