There are significant differences between the process of frying snow and Pigment dyed wash in many aspects. The following is a specific comparison of the two processes:
Definition and principle
Stir-fried snow washing technology
Definition: Fried snow is a dry frying without adding water washing process method.
Principle: The process first soaked the dry pumice stone with potassium permanganate solution, and then polished directly with the clothing in a special rotating cylinder. Through the grinding effect of pumice stone, potassium permanganate oxidizes the friction points on the clothing, and the oxidation will make the cloth appear irregular and fade, forming a white spot effect similar to snowflakes.
Pigment dyed wash
Definition: Pigment wash/Pigment dyed wash, also known as "single coating/paint dyeing".
Principle: This process is designed for clothing dyed by paint, mainly by attaching vegetable dyes evenly to the surface of the fabric. It is designed to consolidate the original gorgeous color and increase the softness of the fabric's feel.
2. Application and effect

Features: The process includes pumice soaking potassium permanganate, pumice and clothing dry grinding, snowflake effect on the board, cleaning stone dust, oxalic acid neutralization, water washing, softener and other steps.
Note: It is necessary to ensure that the concentration and penetration of potassium permanganate solution is moderate to avoid excessive damage to clothing.
Pigment dyed wash
Features: Green environmental protection, no damage to the skin. The dye is naturally attached to the surface of the fabric, and the color fastness is relatively weak.
Note: Before the first three times of wearing, it is necessary to soak in concentrated salt water for 12 hours to fix the color, so that the degree of fading will be reduced after wearing. However, compared with other dyed pants, the loss of color is still more obvious. Hang as much as possible when displaying to avoid local fading and fading caused by overlaying.
To sum up, there are significant differences between fried snow and Pigment dyed wash in terms of definition, application effect, process characteristics and precautions. Which process to choose depends on the style of the garment, the fabric and the desired visual and feel effect.
