The Jacquard iDye Poly Fabric Dye in Brown is designed for crafters and artists looking to achieve vibrant, lasting color on synthetic materials. Its key benefit is its effectiveness on polyester and nylon, offering a solution where other dyes fail. A minor caveat is that for blended fabrics containing both synthetic and natural fibers, it requires the use of iDye for Natural Fabrics simultaneously. This dye features a unique dissolvable packet, eliminating messy powders, and can be used on a wide range of synthetic items including plastics, 3D prints, and cosplay materials.

No, iDye Poly is specifically designed for synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. For 100% cotton, you would need to use Jacquard iDye for Natural Fabrics.
For blended fabrics, use both iDye Poly and iDye for Natural Fabrics in the same dye bath. Use the corresponding color of each dye type. This allows both the synthetic and natural fibers to accept the color.
All items should be thoroughly washed and rinsed in hot water before dyeing to remove any sizing, oils, or finishes that could interfere with dye absorption.
iDye Poly is designed for stovetop or bucket dyeing where temperature control is easier. While some attempt it in a machine, results may be less consistent due to temperature fluctuations.
One packet of iDye Poly is generally sufficient for dyeing up to 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of dry fabric for a medium shade. For darker shades or larger quantities, you may need more dye.
Yes, you can mix iDye Poly colors to create custom shades. You can also pair different iDye Poly colors or combine them with iDye for Natural Fabrics for unique effects.
The dye bath should be brought to a simmer, which is typically around 180-200°F (82-93°C), and maintained at this temperature for the duration of the dyeing process.
The recommended simmering time is typically 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the material and the desired depth of color. Stirring occasionally ensures even dyeing.
Ensure items were thoroughly washed before dyeing to remove any finishes or oils. Make sure items are fully submerged and have room to move freely in the dye bath. Stir frequently during the simmering process.
Increase the simmering time, use more dye packets for larger quantities of material, or ensure the water temperature was consistently maintained at a simmer.
Confirm the plastic is compatible (e.g., ABS, PETG). Ensure the plastic surface is clean and free of any mold release agents or coatings. Some plastics may require pre-treatment or may not accept dye well.
Ensure the water was sufficiently hot when the packet was added. Stirring the water after adding the packet can help it dissolve completely.
