⚪ Aluminium Acetate
Premium Mordant for Cellulose Fibres – Clear, Bright Color Results
Aluminium Acetate is a refined, high-performance mordant ideal for cotton, linen, hemp, and other cellulose fibers. Known for its ability to produce crisp, vibrant color, this mordant is especially recommended when dyeing with natural extracts like madder, cochineal, weld, and indigo overdyes. It’s a favorite among botanical dyers seeking clarity, lightfastness, and professional-grade results on plant-based textiles.
Key Features:
High-purity aluminium acetate powder
Especially effective on plant-based fibers
Yields bright, clear, true-to-source hues
Excellent for printing, eco-dyeing, and fine detail work
Works best when used after a tannin pretreatment (e.g. myrobalan, gallnut)
Mordanting Notes:
Unlike aluminium sulphate, aluminium acetate is preferred for cellulose
Offers cleaner color and less fiber distortion
Best used as part of a mordanting process with or without the Tannin bath:
Tannin bath (10–15% WOF) (OPTIONAL) 
Aluminium acetate bath (5–10% WOF)
Chalk (Calcium Carbonate) Bath (5gm/L)
