The right products for beautiful colours that last! It takes more than simply good dye to colour textiles. Our dyeing auxiliaries ensure that colours perfectly match our customers’ wishes and are protected against washing, sun, perspiration and chlorine for as long as possible.
... ensure even distribution of dye in the dye bath. This helps prevent precipitates and agglomeration of dye, which can cause uneven spotting.
... bind with hard water components and prevent precipitate formation.
... ensure necessary dyeing pH values are achieved. Acid donors slowly lower the pH value until the minimal pH value is reached. Acid and alkali buffers set the necessary pH value and keep it stable.
... are additives that ensure good wetting, deaeration and defoaming and prevent undesired dye migration during continuous processing. Good penetration is important for evenly dyeing the entire fibre. Deaerators combine wetting and defoaming properties for low-foaming dye baths and thus support reliable dyeing processes.
... reduce and even out the dye strike rate for level dyeing. Levelling agents have high levels of affinity with dyes or fibres according to their use and prevent uneven dyeing or striping.
... optimise sliding properties, reduce mechanical resistance and minimise the formation of creases during dyeing. The various crease-preventing agents are adjusted for the respective fibres.
... improve the colour fastness and thus other textile characteristics such as wash, water, perspiration, chlorine and rub fastness.
... is best done with the following auxiliaries: reserving, levelling and anti-frosting agents that are specially developed for carpet colouration.
