Difference between plant printing and dyeing and reactive printing and dyeing

There are obvious differences between plant printing and dyeing and reactive printing and dyeing in material and feel.

* Different materials: plant printing and dyeing mainly uses plants endowed by nature for printing and dyeing, while reactive printing and dyeing uses dyes and chemicals.

* Different handfeel: the fabric printed and dyed by plants feels stiff and looks a little ink painting effect; However, the fabric dyed with reactive dyes feels silky, and the dyeing effect is good from both positive and negative aspects.

In the dyeing process, reactive dyeing and plant dyeing also adopt different methods. Use reactive dyeing. In the process of printing and dyeing, the active genes of dyes form a combination with fiber molecules, so that dyes and fibers form a whole. This method makes the fabric have excellent dustproof performance, high cleanliness and high color fastness. At the same time, reactive printing and dyeing does not add azo and formaldehyde, does not contain substances harmful to human body, and does not fade after washing.
