The CORIARIA (or redoul) EXTRACT from OCCITANIA is manufactured from local raw materials of organic collection. This 100% natural dye is obtained from the aerial parts of the plant Coriaria myrtifolia<\/em> L. It is rich in plant tannins (gallotannins) extracted with water, from sustainable methods. This plant was widely used by dyers of the XVIIIth Century (Paul Gout, Antoine Janot…) and described in their historical recipes.
\nEXTRACT PRODUCED IN EXCLUSIVITY AND LIMITED QUANTITY
\n<\/span><\/strong> Main components : hydrolyzable tannins (around 15 %) + flavono\u00efds (quercetin and kaempferol glycosides).<\/p>\n

Uses :<\/span> <\/strong>Natural dyeing and textile printing<\/span> : this plant extract allows to dye any type of fibers, mordanted or not. The tannins of gallic type (tannic acid = hydrolyzable tannins) naturally bind to cellulosic fibers. The shades are obtained depending on the concentration of bath and mordant : beige, fawn (not mordanted or aluminium), greys in presence of iron, orange in presence of titanium. This plant was part of the recipe of Noir de B\u00e9darieux, our city. It was also used and described in the recipes of Paul Gout’s 157 colours<\/strong><\/a> or those of Antoine Janot’s 85 colours<\/a><\/strong>.
\nOther uses<\/span> : Tannery.
\nDo not use for food.<\/p>\n

Narbonne and Montpellier were the largest centers of importation of coriaria from Catalonia to Languedoc.
