They quickly replaced natural dyes in the textile industry and then entered the woodworking industry. They are available to woodworkers today in powder form to be dissolved in a solvent, usually water.<\/p>\n<p>In the middle twentieth century a new class of chemical dyes, called \u201cmetalized\u201d or \u201cmetal complex\u201d was developed. These dyes are usually packaged in liquid form and are more fade resistant than the powder dyes, but the range and richness of colors is somewhat inferior. These dyes are often marketed as fade resistant.<\/p>\n<p>The left dye in the photo is Transtint metalized dye. The right dye is Lockwood analine dye. Both are water-soluble. I covered the top half of the panel and put it in a west-facing window for six months. You can see that both dyes faded (on the lower areas) but the analine dye faded more than the metalized dye.<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All dyes fade much faster than pigment when exposed to bright light\u2014sunlight and fluorescent light being the worst culprits.
