Jacquard Alum is a traditional mordant and marbling preparation used to help dyes and pigments bond to fabric or paper. In natural dyeing, it enhances colorfastness and vibrancy; in marbling, it acts as a sizing agent that allows colors to spread evenly and transfer clearly without bleeding.
Ideal for cotton, linen, silk, wool, and paper, Alum ensures strong color adhesion and professional-quality results. Non-toxic and easy to use, it’s an essential supply for textile artists, dyers, and marblers.
