DECOLOURANT - JACQUARD (240ml)

Introducing the DECOLOURANT - JACQUARD (240ml), the ultimate color removal solution for your textile projects! Formerly known as 'Discharge Paste', this ready-to-use printing paste is designed specifically to remove color from dyed natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool, offering a gentle alternative to harsh bleaches that can damage delicate fibers. DECOLOURANT works through a heat activation process, allowing you to achieve stunning designs without compromising material integrity. Simply apply with a brush, stamp, sponge, stencil, or screen print, and let it dry. For optimal results, iron at the highest setting appropriate for your fabric—using steam for additional color lifting. The versatility of DECOLOURANT makes it perfect for DIY crafts, textile artists, and professional printers alike. However, remember that the final color may not always be white, as some dyes react differently. We highly recommend testing on sample fabrics prior to your main designs to ensure desired outcomes. Our DECOLOURANT is safe to use when guidelines are followed, but always exercise caution and work in well-ventilated areas. Transform your fabrics with DECOLOURANT and unleash a world of creative possibilities today!

deColourant
(formerly "Discharge Paste")
deColourant is a ready-to-use printing paste for removing areas of color from dyed natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk and wool. Unlike bleach, deColourant removes color without jeopardizing the integrity of the fiber.

How does it work?
deColourant is activated by heat. If you don’t like what you’ve done, just wash it out! Nothing happens until you heat the deColourant print.

Instructions:

Apply with brush, stamp, sponge, applicator, stencil or screen print. Allow to dry, then iron on highest setting suited for the fabric type. For extra color removal, iron with steam. A heat gun may also be used, especially if the print is still damp. Color will leave at this stage. After color removal, wash fabric with Synthrapol or a mild detergent to return to natural softness.

Notes:

When removing dye from fabric, the resulting color may not always be white.

Some dyes are more susceptible to color removal than others.

Test samples are recommended prior to production runs.

CAUTION: May cause eye, skin and throat irritation. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Do not apply by spraying. In case of eye contact flush immediately with water for at least 15 minutes. For skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If affected by inhalation of vapor, seek fresh air. Use in well-ventilated area.
