Resistad's unique chemistry offers all the advantages of both permanent and removable resists. The Medium Concentrate formula allows artists to tailor the viscosity of the resist to their needs. Additionally, because it is extra thick, it can be loaded with dye to produce colored lines instead of white ones without jeopardizing performance. As a "hybrid" resist, it holds detail better than any other water-based system, yet it washes out of the fabric easily with warm water. Developed by John Mitchell of Procolour in New Zealand, the formula was acquired and further improved upon by Jacquard Products in early 2017.
