AVCO-TEX MP

PENETRATION ACCELERANT AND DE-AERATING AGENT

AVCOTEX MP is a penetration accelerant with excellent de-foaming and de-aerating proerties.
AVCOTEX MP can be used in all kind of aqueous processes such as printing to increase penetration of the printing paste, and in bleaching and dyeing recipes to increase the even pick-up in high speed continuous machines.

SPECIFICATION:

Appearance Slightly yellowish clear liquid.
Chemical nature Blend of surfactants and organic defoamers.
Compatibility Stable in hard water. Stable to alkalis, acids and electrolyte in pH range of 4-13. Stable to oxidative and reductive agents.
Ionicity Nonionic
pH (10% sol.) 3 ± 0.5
Solubility Emulsifiable in water.
Storage Stable in close container for at least 12 months. Should not be stored at temperatures above 40°C.

PROPERTIES & USES:

  1. Excellent penetrant for aqueous printing pastes of pigments, disperse and acid
    dyestuffs with all kinds of synthetic, natural and blended fabrics.
  2. Suitable for all types of pretreatment, bleaching, dyeing and finishing
    procedures, in continuous and batch machines.
  3. Promotes fast and even liquor pick up through the whole cross section of the
    fibres.
  4. AVCOTEX MP is non foaming at all, and suppresses foam of other surfactants.
  5. Can be used in high alkaline or mild acid liquors.
  6. No spot formation even at elevated temperatures.
  7. Durable action through all the dyeing or bleaching cycle.

APPLICATION:

  1. To increase penetration of aqueous printing paste into fabrics.
    use:5 – 20 g/kg
  2. Foam suppressing in padding processes
    use: 0.3 – 1 g/l
  3. To increase pick-up of bleaching and dyeing padding liquors
    use: 0.5 – 2 g/l
  4. De-aerating and wetting of densely packed fibre and yarns
    use: 0.5 – 1.5 g/l
