TOBASIGN VOOR BATIK
Tobasign dyes have a little or no impact on our environment.
If you are considering their use, Tobasign dyes are eco-friendly, in most respects. The small amounts of
dye you use are safe to dispose of down the drain or in your septic tank. The dyes are not very toxic or
carcinogenic, unlike some direct dyes that until recent years were commonly used in all-purpose dye, and
they do not require the use of toxic mordants.
Most shades are classified as low-impact because they meet the requirements of the Oeko-Tex Standard
100, an international textile certification program. To meet this standard, low-impact dyes cannot contain
toxic substances, must have an absorption rate in which 70% or more of the dye is absorbed by the fabric
and require relatively little rinse water.
