Woolis 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™ 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.
