LOW-FOAMING ANIONIC WETTING AGENT FOR DYEING PROCESSES |
|||||||||||||||||
| AVCO-TEX AKS is a low foaming anionic padding auxiliary, which possesses very good wetting and de-aerating properties. AVCO-TEX AKS is used mainly for dyeing cellulosic fibres and their blends with indigo, sulphur, vat, reactive and direct dyestuffs. AVCO-TEX AKS is recommended for application in continuous, semi-continuous as well as for long liquor dyeing processes. SPECIFICATIONS:
PROPERTIES & USES: 1. Wetting and de-aerating agent applied in neutral and alkaline dyeing baths of cellulosic fibres and their blends. 2. Excellent compatibility with anionic dyestuffs such as reactives, indigo, sulphur, vat and directs. 3. Low foaming in padding ranges and in jet machines. 4. Stable to chemicals normally used in cellulose dyeing processes such as alkalis and electrolytes. 5. In continuous and semi-continuous dyeing baths AVCO-TEX AKS increases the liquor pick-up, improves the penetration, and thus enables to produce more uniform dyeing. 6. Recommended in dyeing baths to ensure leveled pick-up of dyestuffs. 7. In yarn dyeing the excellent de-aerating properties ensures better and even penetration of the dyeing liquor. 8. Increases reproducibility. 9. Fully washed out from the treated fibres during the final rinse and therefore can be used for fabric, which are finished with water repellents. APPLICATION: AVCO-TEX AKS can be applied as it is, or pre-diluted with cold water. The amounts of application are the following: a. Padding methods: 1. On raw material use: 3.0 – 6.0 g/l 2. On prepared material use: 0.5 – 3.0 g/l b. Exhaustion methods: 1. On raw material use: 2.0 – 4.0 g/l 2. On prepared material use: 0.5 – 1.0 g/l |
