The substrate and Dye molecule of the textile should not have a homogenous composition and characteristics, if they have then they will combine. In order to prevent the following condition and to dye the color on the fabric, we need a catalyst to dye the color efficiently and properly on the fabric. Salt acts as a catalyst that speeds up the reaction. Salt has a very high affinity to water.
Leather
Salt is an important component of the leather industry, and it is used for a variety of purposes throughout the tanning process. One of the primary uses of salt in the leather industry is for preserving hides and skins before they are tanned.
