Pigment Spray + Mineral Wash

Combining pigment spray and mineral wash on textiles results in a distinctive look with unique texture and colour effects, often evoking a vintage and artistic appeal. This process allows for customisation and creativity while demanding careful quality control and environmental responsibility.

Combination

VISUAL EFFECT

Textured, vintage colour with sprayed detail

INTENSITY RANGE

Localised/graduated

Benefits

Mineral-washed texture with sprayed pigment on top, giving a vintage colour with localised detail. Two effects in one process route.

Limitations

Two processes in sequence, so lead time is longer than either alone. Spray coverage and shade are approved together rather than separately.

Process
  • Fabric Preparation: Choose the textiles or garments. Denim, cotton and other natural fibres are common choices.
  • Pigment Spray: Spray the pigment onto the selected areas, following the design plan.
  • Drying: Let the sprayed pieces dry so the pigment sets properly.
  • Mineral Wash: Load the pieces with abrasives into a washing machine or drum.
  • Quality Check: Inspect during and after the process to confirm the texture and colour effect.
