Jacquard Carrageenan ( 4 oz – 113 g )

Carrageenan is the traditional, seaweed-derived thickener used to create the perfect marbling bath. When mixed with water, it forms a smooth, gel-like surface that allows paints or inks to float and spread beautifully. Jacquard’s high-purity Carrageenan ensures consistent, even flow and crisp, detailed marbled patterns every time.

Product features:
• Natural seaweed-derived marbling base.
• Creates smooth, gel-like consistency.
• Ensures even spreading and crisp designs.
• Suitable for fabric, paper, and other absorbent surfaces.
• Makes approximately 3 gallons (11.3 L) of marbling bath.

Jacquard Methocel ( 8 oz – 227 g)

Methocel (methyl cellulose) is a synthetic thickener that provides a consistent, stable marbling bath. It’s a popular alternative to carrageenan, offering a slower colour spread and greater control for detailed designs. Jacquard Methocel mixes easily with water and maintains a smooth, even viscosity for professional-quality results.

Product features:
• Synthetic thickener for marbling.
• Produces smooth, stable bath consistency.
• Allows slower, more controlled paint spreading.
• Easy to mix and long-lasting in storage.
• Makes up to 15 L of marbling bath.

Jacquard Alum ( 1 lb – 454 g )

Product features:
• Traditional mordant for marbling and dyeing.
• Helps paints adhere to fabric or paper.
• Produces crisp, durable colour definition.
• Easy to dissolve and apply.
