Scour

Price is per ounce.

Cellulose Scour – is designed for use for mordanting cellulose fibers and also as part of the Silkzorb degumming process. For silk degumming it works in combination with Silkzorb, soda ash and heat to thoroughly clean silk fibers, removing excess sericin and other materials which could inhibit the take-up of dye. The scour is cationic (positive) and increases the bond of natural dyes to silk and cellulose fibers, deepening the color. For mordanting cellulose fibers it is used at 5.5% weight of fiber (WOF) with 2% WOF soda ash in a hot bath prior to mordanting with aluminum acetate.
