Description

The Fibre Reactive powder provides vibrancy to the colouration of your fibres when activated through a mixture with an alkaline substance, such as baking soda.

This chemical reaction easily fuses itself with the garments of your choice, resulting in a broad variety of colours, shades and tints, making your experimentations a pleasurable and fun experience.

Even though the reactive dye is really safe to use with your kids and in your house, there are still a few safety precautions that you’ll have to be attentive too.
