Jacquard Decolorant is a ready-to-use printing paste designed to remove color from dyed natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk and wool. Formerly known as Discharge Paste, it lifts dye without damaging the fiber structure, unlike traditional bleaching methods, allowing for controlled and creative color removal.
The paste is activated by heat, remaining inactive until ironed or heated with a heat gun. It can be applied using brushes, stamps, sponges, stencils, or screen printing. Once dry, heat triggers the color removal process, which can be intensified with steam. After treatment, washing the fabric with a mild detergent restores softness. Results may vary depending on the dye used, so test samples are recommended before full production.
