BLEACH THICKENER
The Bleach Thickener is designed to be used with bleach and water to produce a thickened paste which can be applied to fabric in order to remove color. The paste can be painted or printed onto the fabric. The thickener remains stable in bleach for 24 to 36 hours. The bleach thickener is for use on cellulose fibers such as cotton, linen, and rayon. Not recommended for protein fibers such as wool and silk. To mix a solution for painting or printing the following ratios work well.
is a smooth, thick and even consistency. To this mixture add your bleach, blending in till smooth. Note that the mixture will be very thick until the bleach is added, which will thin out the mixture to an applicable consistency. Paint or print this mixture onto fabric which has been previously dyed. Leave to dry. The longer that the mixture is left on the fabric and the thicker the application of the bleach paste, the more dye that will be removed. However do not leave on for longer then several hours as the bleach may weaken the fabric. Once dry or discharged to taste, rinse, then soak in Bleach Stop or something to deactivate the bleach, then wash fabric to remove thickener. When using the bleach thickener on dyed fabrics you will find various results depending on the type of dye and color that is chosen for the background. We recommend our Procion MX dyes for cellulose fibers. Many dyes will not discharge to a white but rather to a lighter version of the same color and sometimes to another color entirely. Some colors and dye types will not discharge at all or very little. Results may vary. A little experimenting is required!
