Sumifix HF dyes suitability for mixed dyeing

  Notes
Polyester/cotton, polyester/rayon, polyester/tencel Good color reproducibility
Nylon/cotton, nylon/rayon, nylon/tencel Less nylon-staining with the use of anti-staining agents
Cotton/rayon, cotton/tencel Excellent tone in tone property
Cotton/wool, rayon/wool Optimum dyeing method currently under research
Cotton/spandex, rayon/spandex, tencel/spandex Hardly any uneven dyeing caused by fabric distortion esp. in spandex mixtures


In mixed dyeing...
1) Large liquor ratio is required when cotton content is small

Example: Using the same dyeing machine
Cotton 100%,
liquor ratio 1:20
Cotton 40% mixture,
liquor ratio 1:50

2) When cotton proportion is uncertain in the mixture,

the dyeability of the trichromatic colors needs to match even with a large liquor ratio


Liquor ratio dependency (1:20 - 1: 100)
