    The document summarizes dye fastness properties and vat dyeing. It states that dye fastness is a material's resistance to changes in color from factors like fading, bleeding, or color transfer. It describes vat dyes as requiring a reducing agent like sodium dithionite to solubilize the dye into its leuco form for dyeing. Vat dyes are noted as having high color fastness compared to other dye classes, but poorer rubbing fastness which can be improved with special fabric treatments. The document advises that indigo specifically is prone to crocking unless applied carefully through multiple dips in a weaker dye-bath.

    DYE FASTNESS PROPERTIES
    VAT
    Dye fastnessproperties:

     Dye fastness is the resistance of a material to


    change in any of its color characteristics, including
    the transfer of its colorants to adjacent materials;
    Fading means the color changes and lightens;
    Bleeding is the transfer of one color to another
    material.
    VAT

    ▶ Vat dye characteristically require a reducing


    agent to solubilize them. The most common reducing agent
    is sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4), which converts the dye to its "leuco"
    form that is soluble. The vat dyes have high color fastness, which is
    uncommon in other dye classes. On the other hand, vat dyes tend to
    have poor rubbing fastness, but this can be mitigated with special
    treatments to the fabric. Indigo is subject to major crocking
    (i.e., rubbing the dye off onto other items) unless it is applied
    carefully. This means that dipping many times in a weaker dye-bath
    is more preferred than to dip once in a stronger dye-bath.
