Wool is an amazing product of nature with many attributes as listed here. Wool is a luxurious but durable natural fiber having the ability to act as a natural “thermostat” regulating body temperature in both hot and cold environments. Wool is very dyeable — Orcoacid™, Orco Lanamide™, Orcolan Fast™, Orcolan Neutral™, Orco Milling™, and Orcoset™ dyes provide most shades and physical properties desired.

Orcoacid™ Acid Dyes for Wool
OrcoAcid™ dyes find use in the piece dyeing of wool and worsted goods. Their inherent excellent leveling properties and wide shade selection make them especially suited to the men’s and women’s wear industry. These colors are generally applied from a strong acid bath(pH of <3.5). Some, such as the Alizarine dyes, are better applied from a weak acid bath (pH of 3.5-6.0).

Orco Milling™ Acid Dyes for Wool
Orco Milling™ dyes are characterized by their high wetfastness and their wide range of bright colors. Although their lightfastness falls somewhat short of the metallized group of acid colors they do offer a brighter shade range to choose from. These dyes are used primarily in stock and package dyeing but have been used in piece dyeing where careful temperature and pH control is possible.

Orcolan Fast™ Acid Dyes for Wool
Orcolan Fast™ dyes for wool represent a group of 1:1 acid metalized chrome-complex dyes with excellent leveling properties in strongly acid conditions such as carbonized wool. Although this line is somewhat limited in shade range it is very popular due to its ease of application and good fastness properties and finds wide use in stock dyeing especially in those areas destined for cross dyes.

Orcolan Neutral™ Acid Dyes for Wool
Orcolan Neutral™ dyes for nylon and wool, are 2:1 premetalized acid dyes. Because of their large molecular size, these behave similarly to the Orco Milling™ dyes in application and strike rate. Because of the metal complex (Cr+3 usually), these dyes exhibit excellent light and wet fastness and find application in automotive industrial fabrics.

Orcoset™ Acid Dyes for Wool
Orcoset™ dyes for nylon and wool are a special group of modified 1:2 metal complex acid dyes exhibiting high fastness levels and similar dyeing properties. All dyes are applied at a pH of 4.5 in conjunction with Orcogal SET™. These dyes find application in stock, piece, and package dyeing. These dyes do not require an ammonia after-scour to achieve wet fastness.

Actual dye samples must be evaluated in a laboratory on medium to be dyed in production for accurate shade and physical property results. Shades shown on print material and computer monitors are for general reference only as they are inherently inaccurate due to calibration variations and technical limitations of monitors and printers.
