What are Natural Earth Pigments?

1. Earths are taken from different areas of Europe

2. After quarrying and drying, each coloured earth needs a different working process; some of them are coarsely crushed, impurities are eliminated and they are milled by hammer or ball mills.

3. Other earths are burnt, therefore they mineralogically change in a way that permits us to obtain many tones.

Advantages of using Natural Earth Pigments

1. Minimal environmental impact compared to the production of synthetic dyes

2. Far superior pick up and fastness compared to natural dyes made from plant and vegetable extracts

3. Easy process to follow and load to load consistency is excellent

4.Process time is much less than conventional dyeing which in turn saves on water, energy usage and also fabric strength is retained.
