4. Dyeing Auxiliaries |
|
| 4.1 Penetration accelerant | |
| ALBAFLOW® CIR Anionic all fibers 0.2-1 g/l | De-aerating agent with wetting properties and durable antifoam properties. Stable in acid and alkaline medium. Instant penetration of goods, especially recommended for circulation dyeing machines. Promotes constant liquor flow, hence inside-outside levelness and reduced risk of channeling. APEO and solvent free. |
| ALBAFLOW® FFA-01 Anionic 0.2-1 g/l all fibers | De-aerating agent with wetting properties and durable antifoam properties. Instant penetration of goods like hank, muff, bobbin and beam. Promotes constant liquor flow, hence inside-outside levelness and reduced risk of channeling. Prevents pale cross-over points and edges in packages, no distortion. |
| ALBAFLOW® FFC-01 Slightly anionic 0.1-0.5 g/l all fibers | De-foaming agent with de-aerating effect and penetration action. Very stable to high alkali and electrolyte concentrations. High stability to shear even in HT exhaustion, suitable for machines with short liquor technology. |
| ALBAFLOW® FFW anionic 0.2-1 g/l all fibers | Wetting and de-aerating agent with antifoaming properties. Extremely high stability in strong alkaline and acid treatment baths. Suitable for machines with short liquor technology. Relatively low viscosity emulsion with good dilutability. Suitable for automatic dosing equipment. Contains no APEO, solvent or mineral oil. |
| ALBAFLOW® JET anionic 0.1-0.5 g/l all fibers | De-foaming agent with de-aerating effect and penetration action. Very stable to high alkali and electrolyte concentrations. High stability to shear even in HT exhaustion, suitable for machines with short liquor technology. Contains no APEO or solvent. |
| ALBAFLOW® CONTI anionic 1-3 g/l all fibers | Accelerant with high wetting and de-aerating power and marked antifoam, special for continuous dyeing. Strong wetting action, promotes fiber and surface levelness. No impairment of migration inhibitors. APEO- and silicone-free penetration. |
| ALBAFLOW® SF PLUS Non-ionic 0.3-1 g/l all fibers | Silicone oil and silicate free product with reinforced foam control properties. Stable in acid and slightly alkaline medium.Good stability to shear, suitable for machines with short liquor technology. Suitable for all fibers and dyeing methods, particularly wet process¬ing of synthetics and their blends in all treatment baths. APEO and solvent free. |
| ALBAFLOW® UNI-01 Non-ionic 0,1-1.0 g/l exhaustion 1.0-5.0 g/f padding all fibers | Silicone and mineral oil free penetration accelerant with combined effect of wetting de-aeration and foam suppression. Stable in acid and alkaline treatment baths. High stability to shear even in HT exhaustion, suitable for machines with high liquor turbulence (e.g. short liquor technology). Relatively low viscosity emulsion which can be easily diluted. Suitable for automatic dosing equipment. No APEO solvent, silicone or mineral oil, good biodegradability. Especially recommended for dyeing of synthetic fibers. Versatile application in exhaust/continuous on all kinds of fibers as yarn, knit and woven goods. Also suitable for exhaust pretreatment processes. |
| ALBAFLOW® CW Non-ionic 1-3 g/l all fibers | Low-foaming penetration accelerant with pronounced wetting and de-aerating effects, no silicone. Very high and very fast wetting action. Immediate total air removal. Specially suited for use in the continuous dyeing and printing of carpet. No influence in contrast to differential dyed carpets. No silicone or mineral oil and no solvent. |
| THERMACOL® PN Slightly anionic 0.3-1 g/l all fibers | Padding agent with quick and even penetration (wetting) Good leveling effect prevents frosting. Highly recommended for continuous piece dyeing of wool and polyamide carpet. Dissolves dyes readily. |
