Product type
Acid Black is a type of acid dye commonly used in the textile industry for dyeing protein fibers such as wool, silk, and nylon. These dyes are water-soluble and are known for their deep, rich colors, particularly blacks and dark shades. Acid Black dyes work by forming ionic bonds with the fibers, resulting in vibrant and long-lasting color retention.
