How does tie dyeing work?
Tie-dying is pretty much explained in the phrase: you twist then tie fabric, then dip sections into dyes. You can use strips of fabric as ties-- the result will be less defined, more feathery edges along the dye's borders. Or, the most effective way is to use medium to wide rubber bands, which will result in a straighter border between sections. Anyplace that is 'tied' will be white when untwisted and untied. The other sections will be colored with the dye you used. The best artistic results are to twist and tie the garment, and then take opposing sections of twisted/tied fabric, and tie opposing sections together with rubber bands. You can also do the basic twist and tie, let it dry with rubber bands in place, then later, undo the first ties and twist and tie the garment in a different way to expose some white sections and dye only parts of the white with a new color unused before in this garment.

What is the Dyeing Basic Principle of Flame Retardant Fabric?
The dyeing is a process to make the fabric lustrous according to the dye together with flame retardant fabric through chemical or physical chemistry way. Once the dyed flame retardant fabric colour fading, the fabric has been redyed if you want the fabric recover the original color. The flame retardant fabric dyeing process including surface adsorption, internal divergence and dye fixation.1, Surface adsorptionThe dye will be adsorbed the fiber surface when dipped the fiber to the dye liquor, this is the initial stage of the dyeing process. Good appetency and high concentration dye together with moderate electrolyte will increase the fiber adsorption speed, which will help to make the dyeing pricess correctly.2, Internal divergenceThe dye will be diffused to the fiber interior after the dye adsorbed to the fiber surface. This process is the longest stage in the whole dyeing process. In the dye liquor, the fiber surface dye spreads to the low concentration fiber interior, makes the dye added to the fiber surface continuous, until the fiber dye strength same as the dye strength in the dye solution. After transformation finished, the dye adsorption finished on the fiber surface. So, adsorption and diffusion are the inalienable and simultaneous process.3, Dye fixationThe dye adsorb, diffuse and permeate to the fiber surface and interior, and also fix on the fiber with all kinds of chain, the dye and fiber are diffrent, so as the fixation style, and because of the different fixation style, so as the dye fastness.By YULONG FR tex
What are the Differences between dyeing and printing?
Dyeing involves coloring the entire fabric by soaking it in a dye solution, while printing applies color to specific areas of the fabric using dyes or pigments in a pattern or design.
