Setacolor Setacolor
(fabric paint)

Setacolor is a range of concentrated heat fixed colours for decorating fabrics. Particularly vivid and bright, Setacolor colours can be used to paint, stain or print natural or synthetic fibers. After fixing with an iron, they are perfectly resistant to washing and dry cleaning and the fabric retains all of its suppleness.

APPLICATION

THE COLOURS

Setacolor colours can be used on all fabrics, fine or heavy: cotton, wool, velvet, non-woven and even leather. Ready to use, intense and concentrated, they are used pure or diluted with water to obtain watercolour effects. Setacolor colours are suitable for various techniques.

Vivid and bright, the Setacolor Opaque colours have an exceptional covering power to decorate both dark or light coloured fabrics. Their rich texture is especially suited for brush work, stencil work and even silkscreen printing.

The Setacolor transparent colours are suitable for all techniques to decorate light coloured fabrics. Though lighter in texture than the Setacolor opaque range, they are perfectly suited for brush work, stencil work or silkscreen printing, and are especially appropriate for diluted techniques. The Setacolor transparent paints are light-sensitive and can therefore be used to obtain remarkable effects with sunlight (2 parts water for one part colour).

Setacolor can be applied on fabics free of sizing and the decorated fabrics keep their suppleness. To fix the Setacolor colours, iron on the reverse side of the decorated fabric for 3 minutes on cotton position. It is also possible to put the fabric in a kitchen oven : 5 minutes at 150°C (300°F) and the colours are fixed. Once fixed, the designs resist machine washing and dry cleaning.

THE AUXILIARIES

Specially formulated to be used in combination with the Setacolor colours, this new range of auxiliary products allows you to adapt the colours to different techniques and to enlarge the creative possibilities.

Lightener : used to create lighter shades without weakening or thinning the product. Please note that the colours will be less opaque.
Thickener : specially recommended for stencilling or silk-screen printing work. Briskly mix a few drops of thickener with the colour until you obtain the desired consistency.
Expanding relief paste : this spectacular product is used to create dimensional patterns. Bright colours : simply apply the paste with a brush, allow to dry and then apply Setacolor paints as desired. Pastel colours : mix the paste with one of the Setacolor paints, then apply as mentioned above. In both cases, allow to dry, then expand by ironing on the reverse side of the fabric or use a hair dryer.
