Aluminium lactate 100g
€12.00
A new mordant, ideal for cellulose fibers such as cotton, linen, hemp, and viscose, and capable of replacing traditional aluminum acetate, is aluminum lactate. Aluminum lactate is a product derived from lactic acid, which, in turn, is obtained from renewable sources in the sugar or starch industry through a fermentation process.
One significant advantage of using aluminum lactate as a mordant is that it dissolves at room temperature, making it convenient to use and energy-efficient compared to some other mordants that may require heating.
The recommended quantity of aluminum lactate in usage is typically 5-10% relative to the dry weight of the fabric. This quantity may vary depending on the desired result and specific application, but this amount usually provides adequate binding and good color retention.
Aluminum lactate thus offers an environmentally friendly and effective alternative to traditional mordants in the treatment of cellulose fibers.
