A short encyclopedia entry defining mordants as substances used in dyeing to fix colors on textile fabrics. It lists the principal basic mordants (alum, iron, tin and chromium salts) and acid mordants (tannic and fatty acids), and describes how fatty acid soaps are fixed with aluminium sulphate to form insoluble salts on the fibre. It cross-references the entries on dyeing and lakes.
