Why does the Fade Away Scourable Wool Marker work differently from other wool spray identification markers;
Dry wool will absorb up to 30% of its own weight of moisture. Because of its chemical structure, wool absorbs dye readily. The dye accessibly is due to the abundance of the orthocortex (Inner fibre structure) material, which absorbs dyes between the macrofibrils of the orthocortex.
Wool comprises the protein Keratin, which contains carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and sulphur in bonds and has a high nitrogen-to-oxygen ratio in its chemical structure. The outside layer of wool fibres (the fibre cuticle) has ridges that form scale patterns. These patterns are formed at an early stage of fibre growth and are the imprint of neighbouring cells. The scales cause wool to repel large beads of liquid and be porous to water vapour, allowing it to hold high amounts of moisture. Tender wool has a higher proportion of orthocortex than sound wool of the same diameter. This variation indicates a genetic difference between some sheep.
There is a difference in the fibre diameter between sheep shorn in summer and those shorn in winter (refer to the diagram below). Wool has a high nitrogen-to-oxygen ratio in this chemical structure. Fadeaway contains an ingredient to reduce dye penetration into the wool’s inner fibre. This ingredient offers protection properties, so the wool fibre, on the one hand, repels the Fade Away Scourable Wool Marker application while allowing it to settle on the top of the outer fibre and keep the integrity of the product visibility
