Color loss (Dye Crocking)

FACTS ABOUT COLOR

 

In many cases, the color of the garment is the primary reason for the customer's

undesirable effect. Dye crocking is the result of random loss of dye or pigment due

to abrasion or mechanical action in wear or processing. When dye crocking has

occurred, the fabric appears lighter, discolored or streaked. Dyes or pigments that
