Natural Dye - Bio Indigo

Kraftkolour’s Natural Bio Indigo Dye Powder is a 100% organic extract derived from sustainably farmed indigofera plants, offering a natural and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic indigo. This premium-grade powder is produced using advanced fermentation and extraction processes that preserve the integrity of natural indigo pigment, resulting in deep, authentic blues with superior fastness.

The dye is water-dispersible and can be used in both traditional fermentation vats and modern reduction systems. When combined with alkaline agents like lime and reducing agents like Hydros ST, it yields vibrant shades that range from sky blue to deep navy, depending on the number of dips.

Unlike many commercial indigo powders, Kraftkolour’s Bio Indigo is free from heavy metals and harmful residues, making it ideal for eco-conscious dyers, educational institutions, and sustainable textile production.
