Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Mordant Red 19 Color 612 - #AE0C00
Mordant red 19 is a mordant used in textile dyeing. It is usually found as the
sodium salt. A mordant is a substance used to set
dyes on fabrics or tissue sections by forming a coordination complex with the
dye which then attatches to the fabric or tissue. It may be used for dyeing
fabrics, or for intensifying stains in cell or tissue preparations. The term
mordant comes from the present participle of French mordre, "to bite." In the
past, it was thought that a mordant helped the dye bite onto the fiber so that
it would hold fast during washing.
