Salt & Alkali Recommendations at Different Liquor Ratios

Washing off 100% CEL

Washing-off, pale/medium shades (LR 1:6 and below):

• Rinse for 10 min at 60°C/140°F

• Rinse for 10 min at 60°C/140°F with 1-2 g/l Soaping Agent

• Rinse for 10 min at 60°C/140°F

• Soften as usual or aftertreat (Neutralization at pH 6-7)

Washing-off, dark/deep shade (LR 1:6 and below):

• Rinse for 10 min at 60°C/140°F

• Rinse for 10 min at 60°C/140°F with 1-2 g/l Soaping Agent

• Rinse for 10 min at 60°C/140°F

• Soften as usual or aftertreat (Neutralization at pH 6-7)

Notes on washing off:

No pH adjustment is necessary, pH should 10 to be expected after the first rinse. For thorough washing, the rinsing should be continued until the water remains colored. For efficiency and lower rinsing balls possible.

Fastness to Chlorinated Water

Stability to chlorine becomes much higher chlorinated water fastness ensures long lasting color quality required by current technical trends. These days, the consumer preference in all fields of textiles use is both for ease and wear and high wash fastness is color stability x and high in washable quality as well. The factor because chlorine is mostly used in tap water to make machine washable, and softening of colors used to be washed more frequently to achieve high color imports.

Build-up Property

Dycrofix SEdyes high color intensity results in lower dye and salt requirements, leding to the waem washing System.

Dischargeability

Discharge test illustration

Dischargeability varies with the depth of ground dyeing and recipe of white discharge. The discharge test was made on cotton fabrics dyed at the standard depth by the following recipes.

Ingredient % by Weight
Rongalite 20%
Soda ash 5%
Guar Gum 1%
OBA 0.1%
TOTAL 100%
Discharge test result

Build-up Property

Dycrofix JHP dyes high color intensity results in lower dye and salt requirements, leding to the waem washing System.

Dyeing Process

The optional dyeing temperature is 50°C-60°C, but the appropriate dyeing temperature depends on the fabric types and dyeing machines.

Comments:

  • For optimum color yield, less than final pH 11.0 is recommended to avoid excess hydrolysis.
  • 50°C dyeing is possible for additional energy savings.
  • Reproducibility is further improved at low liquid ratios dyeing.
  • JHP dyes have high fixing ability; proper alkali dosing is a key factor to achieve the targeted dyeing result.

Pretreatment of the Goods

To ensure optimum results in reactive printing of woven or knitted fabric all impurities in the fibre, lubricants, auxiliaries and processing chemicals that could react with reactive dyes or adversely affect the printing process must be removed To obtain maximum colour yield brilliancy levelness and wet fastness properties on cotton, it has been mercerized or treated with a caustic soda solution of at least 22 °Be (16.4%) Regenerated cellulosic fibres should be treated in a tensionless state with a caustic soda solution of approx 6-8 °Be (4-5%) Alkaline pretreatment improves further dimensional stability and facilitates washing-off of the prints.

Stock Thickener

Sodium alginate: 400-600 Parts | Urea: 100-200 Parts | Dycrosol (Resist Salt): 10 Parts | KBl Liquid: 5 Parts | Sodium Bicarbonate: 25-30 Parts | Preservative: 0.5-1.0 Parts | Water: 1000 Parts

Print Paste Preparation

Stock thickener: X Parts | Dycrofix P Dyes: Y Parts | Total: 1000 Parts. Sodium alginate is ideal thickener as it does not react with dyestuff and can be easily washed off.

Fixation Methods

Fixation Medium Substrate Time (min) Temperature Alkali
Saturated Steam WO/Silk 10-20 102°C Sodium Acetate
Saturated Steam CO/CV 8-12 102°C Sodium Bicarbonate or Soda Ash
Hot Air CO 5 150°C Sodium Bicarbonate or Soda Ash
Hot Air PES/CO 1 190-200 C Sodium Bicarbonate or Soda Ash
Superheated Steam PES/CO 6-8 175 X Sodium Bicarbonate or Soda Ash

Note: Higher urea amounts recommended for certain fixation methods

Two-Phase Prints

First of all the dried prints are impregnated open-width and crease-free with an alkaline fixation liquor and after that fixed as per the available equipment.

Two Phase Printing

A horizontal padder with steel/rubber roller arrangement has effective to apply the alkaline fixation liquor which should allow both face padding and immersion of the fabric, depending on its structure and weight. The padding roller which comes into contact with the printed side of the fabnc should be made of steel (S) and the nip roller should be covered with rubber(R).

Fixation Liquors - Electrolyte/Alkali

Fixation Liquors :

Electrolyte / Alkali Amount Unit
Water x cm³
Soda ash 150 g
Common salt 100 g
Potash 80 g
Caustic soda 32% 50 cm³
Sodium silicate (Na₂O:SiO₂ 1:3.3) 50 cm³
Total 1,000 cm³
Sodium Silicate Amount Unit
a) Na₂O:SiO₂ 1:1.7-2.0 1,000 cm³
b) Na₂O:SiO₂ 1:3.3 1,000 cm³

Fixation medium : superheated steam

Substrate : cotton, viscose

Time : 90 sec

Temperature : 125 °C

Washing-off

Washing-off occurs in two stages: first to remove thickeners, chemicals, unfixed dyes and auxiliaries; second to maximize fastness. Swell dry thickening, remove residual alkali, unfixed dyes and auxiliaries. Best results with spray washing, separated rinse baths, and rapid liquor exchange at 90-95°C. Cold water start is possible.

In two-phase methods, intensively spray to remove thickening, alkali, and unfixed dyes at 40°C. Then wash at 60-70°C and 90-95°C. Use soft water to prevent calcium alginate formation. Complete removal of unfixed and hydrolyzed dyes is essential. Higher temperatures accelerate dye diffusion and removal.

Auxiliaries

Sequestering Agent: Sequestering agents are used to soften water and bond free heavy metal ions. Sequestering agents that do not remove the metals from reactive dye complex dyes should be used, as this can lead to uneven dyeing. Therefore EDTA based products are not suitable.

Antifoaming: During both the running of the goods in bath and thus reduce foaminess. Extremely dilute solutions should be dosed into the bath where possible.

Lubricant: Lubricant agent prevents crack marks and creases. It should have no adverse effect on dye liquor stability.

Notes:
  • This method is the standard procedure for liquor temperature of 20-30°C.
  • Short fixation time
  • Metering pump required
  • Good bath stability
  • Atmospheric carbon dioxide has almost no effect during storage.
Continuous Dyeing
Continuous Dyeing Method
Notes:
  • High productivity and colour yield
  • Good appearance
  • Classic procedure for continuous dyeing of woven fabric
  • When using dyes with low reactivity such as Dycrofix Turquoise Blue G the amount of caustic soda should be raised by 30%
  • If the goods are stored, after drying but before fixation, they should be wrapped in an opaque material to protect them from daylight.

Exhaustion Dyeing

Salt

The same amount of common salt (NaCl) or Glauber's salt anhydrous (Na2SO4) can be used. If Glauber's salt cryst (Na2SO4 10H2O) is used, the amount of salt must be doubled.

Alkali

Caustic soda, soda ash can be used to fix the dyes. The type and amount of alkali required as stated in the below table. The final pH of Dycrofix reactive dye bath:

Dyeing temperature Final pH (30°C)
50°C approx. 11.0
60°C approx. 10.5
80°C approx. 9.5
