Usage Profile

Applications

To produce stiff and full finishes

Calabond AG may be used as a straight finishing agent for textiles to modify their hand leaneddraping properties. Finishes produced with Calabond AG have considerable resistance to repeated washing although some loss of stiffness occurs.

To produce modified handle in Resin Finishes

Calabond AG can be used to modify the handle of finishes produced with Texici GC / AN-LF / AN- GCN / AN-GCG. It also confers improved abrasion resistance when used in such finishes.

Recommended Applications / Recipes

For carpet back sizing

Calabond AG is used for back sizing of carpets where it shows advantages in preparation, immunity from bacterial attack and excellent stability as compared with the usual glue and flour sizes.  The resin liquors can be keptfor long periods without any deterioration.  Any slight sediment can be easily stirred in before use. Carpet back sizing with Calabond AG is carried out using the normal equipment except that where brushes are used after back sizing they should be avoided, as the resin will be difficult to remove from bristles, after drying.

The strength of sizing liquor will depends on the degree of stiffening required and on the pickup of the liquor by the carpet. Following is recommended as a basis for trial.

Calabond AG    250              g/L

Licisol oil HS     03 –04        g/L

As a Bonding and Laminating Agent

Calabond AG is an effective bonding and laminating agent possessing good adhesive properties and may be used in doubling or combining processes. The dispersion is applied by spreading machine and normal drying temperatures are sufficient to affect the bond.

For production of Non slip finishes

Calabond AG may be used in the production of non slip finishes, on loosely woven rayon goods and for protective coating on yarns and fabrics an improvement in the draping properties is obtained and the tendency to pilling is reduced.

Calabond AG is not normally substantive to textile fibers and is best applied to piece goods by padding. It may be applied to knitted goods by impregnation below 30 °C.

As general finish, impregnation liquor containing 10 – 50 g/L of Calabond AG should be used.

Use of Calabond AG with softeners

Attractive,  full,  firm  finishes  are  produced  on  Cotton,  Viscose,  Rayon or Linen  piece  by applying a mixture of Calabond AG and softening agents. The finish obtained may be varied within wide limits bearing in mind that higher the proportions of Calabond AG, the stiffer will be the effect. Depending on the handle required, the quantities of resin and softener used may be varied between the following limits:

Calabond AG05 – 50 g/L

Softener                   05 – 20 g/L

Recommended softeners are Softicil ESP or Softicil AN-CP. The softeners may be dispersed by stirring in ten times its weight of water 80 – 100° C. Dilute the resin separately with ten times its weight of cold water. Add the dispersion separately to cold water in the vessel intended for use and make up volume with cold water. The best method of application is by padding and drying without rinsing off. However, a winch or jig may be used, if desired.

Storage

Stable under normal conditions, the product should be stored away from heat and container should be properly capped all the time (Cap the container after use). Avoid direct contact ofsunlight.

2. Improved Right-First-Time dyeing and increased productivity
3. Enables shorter cycle times to be used and increased efficiency
4. Shade consistency within any one batch of yarn or fabric from batch to batch and avoiding problems of body panels not matching in two functions in single product
5. Improves migration of even the most difficult high molecular size, disperse dyestuffs
6. No restraining action on exhaustion of disperse dyes, full yields are obtained in deep shades.
7. No cloud point effect.
8. Low viscosity suitable for liquid dispensing in common with most surfactants
9. No carrier content, no formaldehyde content, no anti-foam content.
10. Anionic chemical nature ensures compatibility  with  all commonly used polyester dyeing auxiliaries
11. No compromise  in  dispersing  properties, Metacil DA-DLP has high  temperature  stable dispersing powers similar to the market-leading Metacil DAN

Usage Profile

Recommended Applications / Recipes 

1. Metacil DA-DLP used as dispersing and levelling agent in dyeing polyester

Metacil DA-DLP is suitable for use on all types of high temperature dyeing machinery. After scouring the goods where necessary, the dye bath is set with fresh water and the temperature rose to 60 º C.

Meanwhile the Metacil DA-DLP is pre-diluted by adding the product to 4-5 times its own volume of warm water

Metacil DA-DLP                                                    0.5-1.0 g/l

Metacil HTS (sequestering agent)                    0.5 g/l Acetic acid or Acid buffer

Adjust pH to                                                          4.5-5.5

Disperse dye                                                         x% owf 

Add pre-diluted Metacil DA-DLP to the bath together with other chemical required (sequestering agent, acid/acid buffer), and circulate

Adjust to pH 4.5 – 5.5. Add well-dispersed dyestuff, preferably through a sieve or filter Raise  temperature  from  60  ºC  to  maximum  dyeing  temperature  (130-135°C)  at  desired temperature gradient. Rapid rates of rise of 2-4 °C per minute are possible. Run 30-60 minutes Cool to temperature at which the liquor can safely be drained without causing creasing, then rinse or back-scour/reduction clear as necessary

As a Bonding and Laminating Agent

2. Metacil DA-DLP used as stripping agent or re- leveling of faulty dyeing

Metacil DA-DLP can be used to correct un-level dyeing or to reduce the depth of dyeing dyed too heavily

Treat for 30 – 60 minutes with:

Metacil DA-DLP 2 – 5 g/l, at maximum dyeing temperature.

This treatment will hold the dye removed in the bath. If shading corrections are necessary, these should be carried out after first replacing all or most of the bath otherwise such high concentrations of Metacil DA-DLP will not permit good exhaustion.

Stripping or re-leveling treatments should be followed by thorough rinsing and reduction clearing to ensure maximum fastness.

3. Reduction Clearing Treatment

Metacil DN-VL                                                      1 g/l

NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide, solid)                     2 g/l

Product Data Sheet

DN-VL is a dispersing agent applied in the alkaline reduction clears after-treatment of

dyeing with disperse dyestuffs on polyester fibres; an anti-precipitant with cationic and anionic

dyestuffs applied together; an antistat on polyamide. In cotton it finds use as levelling agent in

leuco dyeing with VAT dyes.

TYPICAL PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES 

Type                                                        None-Ionic

Constitution                                         Fatty Alcohol ethoxylate

Appearance                                          Colorless clear liquid

pH                                                           6.5-7.5

Solubility                                              Completely soluble in water, can be added directly to treating liquor if

Desired

Compatibility                                       No restrictions.

• Labile condensates are formed with disperse dye molecules, slowing down their mobility and

rate of absorption, preventing re-deposition on fibre.

• Prevents agglomerations of cationic and anionic dyestuffs when dyeing mixtures of

polyacrylonitrilefibre with cotton, wool or polyester.

• With disperse dyes on polyester, or with anionic and cationic dyes applied together, Metacil

DN-VL improves fastness to rubbing and prevents bronzing.

• Metacil DN-VL prevents deposit of basic dyestuff on dyeing machinery, and improves rub

fastness of heavy shades when used in dyeing acrylic fibres; can be applied in combination

with cationic retarders.

• Gives excellent, but non-permanent, antistatic effect on synthetic fibres, piece goods and

especially carpets.

• Excellent biodegradability.

Your Advantages 

• Better fastness polyester dyeing. Allows one-bath dyeing of anionic and cationic dyestuffs, with

savings in time and cost.

• Fastness to rubbing improved, bronzing prevented. Keeps machines clean. Non-soiling

antistatic finish on polyamide.

Usage Profile

Recommended Applications / Recipes

 Reduction clears for dyed or printed polyester 

Metacil DN-VL                      1 g/l

Caustic Soda (Solid)           2 g/l

Sodium Hydrosulphite       2 g/l

Treat the goods for 15-20 minutes at 50-60°C to achieve optimum fastness and clarity of shade.

2. Anti-precipitant for anionic/cationic dye mixtures 

For long liquor ratios (30-40:1) and/or pale shades

Apply Metacil DN-VL           0.5-1.5 g/l

For low liquor ratios and / or heavy shades

Apply Metacil DN-VL           1.5-3.0 g/l

3. Single bath bulking and prewashing of high bulk acrylic yarns 

Where a pre-scour is normally carried out, this treatment may be combined with bulking. Set the

boiling bath with Formic Acid (85%)               3-5 ml/l

Metacil DN-VL                      0.5-1.0 g/l

The bath is mixed well and the heating and liquor circulation are turned off. The yarn package

carrier is lowered into the Kier and left for 15 minutes. The liquor is then circulated for 10

minutes before cooling followed by rinsing.

4. As a non-permanent antistat 

Apply Metacil DN-VL 0.35-0.5% owf by padding, impregnation or spraying

Polyamide fabrics, particularly carpets, are prone to pick up dirt during storage, giving dirty

marks at folds and ends of rolls.

Metacil DN-VL increases surface conductivity of the fibres and prevents accumulation of static

charges, thus removing one of the causes of heavy soiling during storage.

Static in use of the carpet is also eliminated.

Storage

Stable under normal conditions, the product should be stored away from heat and containershould be properly capped all the time. Store between 30 to 40 deg C.

Product Data Sheet

Metacil LD-VRD is a very effective leveling agent used to level vat, reactive, direct, and sulphur dyes on cotton, viscose, and their blends

TYPICAL PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES 

Type                                                       Amphoteric

Constitution                                          Heterocyclic amine derivative

Appearance                                          Yellow liquid

Solubility                                                Soluble in water

Compatibility                                         Compatible with most anionic, non- Ionic and cationic agents, diluteacids and alkalis

• Increases solubility of reactive and direct dyes
• Improves dispersion of vat and sulphur dyes
• Helps overcome dye uptake variation of yarns of different origin or quality – helps eliminate “reediness” or “barré” effects on cotton and viscose
• Helps overcome BLUE-YELLOW separation with greens based on phthalocyanine turquoise dyes
• Amphoteric – therefore compatible with nonionic, anionic and cationic systems, under alkaline and acidic conditions
• Does not  contain  non-ionic  components,  which  are  sometimes  used  as  leveling agents, and which result in restraining action and loss in yield
• Non-foaming
• Low viscosity, free-flowing liquid, suitable for liquid dispensing
• Readily soluble in water 

Characteristics 

1. Metacil LD-VRD enables level dyeing to be produced with vat, reactive, direct, and sulphur dyes on cellulosic fibers by improving the migration/transfer properties of the dyes, ensuring level results every time
2. Excellent results are obtained when Metacil LD-VRD is used to correct, or level, faulty dyeing originally dyed without Metacil LD-VRD
3. No shade changes or losses in yield when Metacil LD-VRD is present in the dye-bath or pad- liquor
4. Suitable for all dyeing machines, even the most liquor- turbulent systems, batch-wise or continuous
5. Its amphoteric nature makes it suitable for application of all dye classes in alkaline or acidic conditions
6. Metacil LD-VRD  prevents  dye  spots  and  specking  with  susceptible  dyes  by  limiting aggregation and providing some dispersing action which prevents agglomeration
7. Metacil LD-VRD can be shown to preserve the reducing condition of vatted liquor for longer periods of time, hence giving savings in reducing agent. It promotes quick and thorough reduction in the steamer with vat dyes applied by pad-dry-chemical pad-steam

Usage Profile

Applications 

Metacil LD-VRD is believed to have several modes of action operating concurrently:

“Zwitterion effect is thought to limit aggregation of dyestuffs, increase diffusion, and increase solubility of dyestuffs

• “Amphoteric nature  offers  opportunity  for  adsorption  at  fiber/water  interface  and  to compete with dye for uptake
• “Amphoteric nature also offers opportunity for adsorption at dye/water interface, making dye less mobile, or acting as dispersing agent 

Recommended Applications / Recipes 

1. General

Metacil LD-VRD may be used in package, beam, winch, jet, jig, or pad-mangle machines for leveling vat, reactive, direct or sulphur dyes. A large excess of the product, if used by accident, will not affect the dye yield obtained. The generally recommended starting concentration ranges for initial trials are as follows:

Metacil LD-VRD heavy shades           1 – 2 % owf

Metacil LD-VRD medium shades       2 – 3 % owf

Metacil LD-VRD pale shades              3 – 4 % owf

The addition of Metacil LD-VRD is made after any scouring or preparation stage, and before addition of the dyes

Product Data Sheet

MetacilMKS 540 EXP is an efficient  sequestering  agent  for iron,  calcium,  magnesium,  and  heavy metal ion which retains its effective performance  at high temperatures and also in the presence of high concentrations of electrolyte and alkali.

TYPICAL PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES 

Type                                                        Anionic

Constitution                                         Oragano Phosphorous compound

Appearance                                          Transparent liquid

PH                                                           0.5-2.0

Solubility                                              Readily soluble in cold water

Compatibility                                       Compatible with anionic and non-ionic products, should not be used with cationic products 

Your Advantages 

1. Eliminates calcium and magnesium powdery precipitates or lime soap deposits on the textile goods and prevents build-up of insoluble scale on machinery
2. Water absorbency, softness and winding properties of yarn are improved
3. Dyeing are brighter, whites are whiter
4. Reproducibility is  improved  by  ensuring  a  uniform  preparation  and  by  preventing  shade change with dyes sensitive to metal impurities
5. Can be used at all stages of textile processing i.e. in scouring, bleaching, dyeing, printing or finishing
6. MetacilMKS 540 EXP exhibits a ‘threshold’ effect to maintain clarity in supersaturated solutions of CaCO3, CaSO4,  BaSO4,  Fe(OH)3  ,  with  very  small  concentrations   of  sequestering agent. Molecules of MetacilMKS 540 EXP are adsorbed onto the surface of the growing nuclei during crystallization of calcium or magnesium scales, thus altering the crystal growth pattern and delaying or inhibiting scale formation
7. Metacil SECHO  K  is  hydrolytically   stable  and  is  therefore  much  more  effective  than polyphosphates   at  high     Sodium   hexametaphosphate   and  tripolyphosphatehydrolyse  to orthophosphate  at temperatures  above 80°C and become ineffective  either as sequestering agents or in the dispersion and suspension of soil
8. MetacilMKS 540 EXP is capable of  suspending  and  dispersing  the  soil  during  scouring  and bleaching and preventing its re-deposition
9. MetacilMKS 540 EXP encourages separation and dispersion of colloidal suspended particles. It is used with  silicate  in  peroxide  bleaches,  stabilizing  the  peroxide  and  preventing  insoluble silicates
10. Nodemutualizingofmetal-containingreactivedyes

Usage Profile

Recommended Applications / Recipes 

• To sequester calcium and magnesium impurities in cotton knitted fabric and improve bleach whiteness

To encounter the problem in producing a consistent white

An addition of MetacilMKS 540 EXP 0.1 – 1 g/l should make to the normal bleaching recipe which will give a marked improvement in whiteness, and reproducibility. 

• To sequester calcium and magnesium impurities in hard water and in cotton knitted fabric and eliminate precipitation problems experienced in dyeing

Fully prepared, peroxide bleached fabrics still contain a high concentration of calcium impurities. This can result in dyestuff precipitation problems

An addition of MetacilMKS 540 EXP 0.1 – 1 g/l to the reactive dyebath will eliminate problems of white precipitate on the fabric and lime-soaps forming with addition of detergents

1.3 In one bath dyeing methods for polyester-cellulose using disperse dyes and reactive or direct dyes

Under  conditions  where  calcium  and  magnesium   occur,  either  in  the  water  supply,  in  the substrate,  or in the Glauber’s  salt, MetacilMKS 540 EXP, high temperature  sequestering  agent,  is recommended  at 0.5 g/l. If metal impurities are known to be present in the fiber, further addition of MetacilMKS 540 EXP 0.1 g/l is additionally recommended in the scour or scour bleach stage 

2. MetacilMKS 540 EXP in dyeing

2.1 General

Metal   ions   can   interact   with   dye   molecules   to   form   insoluble   salts   causing   increased agglomeration or precipitation.  In extreme cases, lower color yields, unleveled dyeing, spots and stains, poor rubbing fastness, or a change in shade may result

2.2 Reactive dyes and direct dyes

High levels of calcium and magnesium, whether originating in the water supply, the salt used in dyeing, or in the cotton itself, may cause precipitation of certain dyes

This may lead to:

• Reduction in dye yield and loss of reproducibility
• Unleveled dyeing – especially in yarn dyeing where the tightly wound dye packages act as a filter
• Reduction in fastness properties
• Loss of “Right First Time” production

The dyestuffs themselves may act as chelating agents for metal impurities, and the metal chelate will alter the shade of the dye

Generally the shade of the dye-metal chelate is duller

During most reactive dyeing, fixation is achieved by addition of sodium carbonate, caustic sodaor similar alkalis. If high levels of calcium and/or magnesium are present, insoluble carbonates or hydroxides will precipitate onto the goods, and a consequent reduction in the pH achieved may lead to an irreproducible loss of the dye yield.

2.3 Vat dyes

The leuco form of vat dyes will form insoluble salts with heavy metal ions 

2.4 Sulphur dyes

Heavy metal ions result in uneven surface oxidation and hence bronzing and poor rub fastness of sulphur dyes. 

Storage

Stable under normal conditions, the product should be stored away from heat and containershould be properly capped all the time.

Applications 

Softicil PA is normally used after preparing a stock emulsion

The stock emulsion is prepared by stirring Softicil PA with approximately 3-4 times its weight of water at 40-50°C to form a thin uniform cream and then diluting this with either warm or cold water to the desired concentration.

It is preferable to always pass the emulsion of Softicil PA through a fine sieve before use.

Product Data Sheet

Softicone SD is used for finishing of high quality, elegant fabrics. Softicone SD gives a very soft smooth hand, is wash and dry cleaning resistant and improves the sewability properties. A particularly good handle is obtained on cellulosic fibers and their blends.

TYPICAL PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

 Type                                       Non-ionic

Constitution                          Amino modified siloxane based composition

Appearance                          Colorless -Yellow Clear Liquid

PH                                           5.0 – 6.0

Solubility                                Readily soluble in cold water

Compatibility                         Compatible with nonionic, anionic and cationic finishing products, cross linking agents and catalysts usually applied in resin finishing. Pre-trials are recommended.

 Your Advantages

 Gives a very soft and smooth handle

• Increases the resilience
• Decreases the tendency to creasing
• Increases the resistance to further tearing
• Improves the sewability 

Usage Profile

 Applications

 Continuous application

Softicone SD should be applied at 10 – 30 g/l. Its use in a resin-finishing recipe will confer an extremely soft handle with good suppleness.

 Softicone SD can be applied on cellulosic, Polyester and blends to create a superior finish with enhanced suppleness and elastomeric feel. Typical recipe for obtaining above effects is as follows:

 Pickup                                        70%

 Guide Line Recipe

 Softicone SD                              10-30 g/l

Softicone PA                              10-20 g/l

Softicone CAM Paste                05-15 g/l

If possible adjusting pH to slightly acidic side is desirable. Run on stent or, calendar and comfit process.

Exhaust Application

Due to the mild cationic nature can be applied in exhaust.

 Application method:

Set the bath (Adjusting pH to slightly acidic side is desirable). Raise the temperature to 40 oC. Add pre-diluted Softicone SD in sufficient quantity to give 1- 3% o.w.f in bath. Run for 25 – 30 minutes. Drop the bath, extract the goods and dry.

Do keep machinery clean. (When scouring, dyeing and softening on the same machine, oils and waxes tend to form a “tide mark”, a build up of scum, on the machine. All silicones are oil loving and will be attracted to this oily deposit, building up a silicone deposit which may eventually mark off onto fabric).

Do avoid strong acids and strong alkalis. All silicone emulsions will be broken under extreme pH conditions. 

Storage

Stable under normal conditions, the product should be stored away from heat and container should be properly capped all the time (Cap the container after use). Avoid direct contact of sunlight.

Features

 Low substantive fluorescent brightening agent

• Does not contain urea or any other additive
• Perfect whitening in continuous application
• It can be used in resin finish and cross linking application
• Most effective on cotton, viscous & polyamide.

Product Uses

SuperBrite RSP350 is low substantive fluorescent brightening agent with excellent heat and acid stability.

It is most effective when applied to cellulosic fiber by padding, particularly from conventional and moist cure resin systems. SuperBrite RSP350 is also suitable for application by exhaustion where good leveling is required for example in the kier bleaching of cotton or the processing of chained hanks.

Cotton                                    4                                              4                                              3-4

APPLICATION

 By Padding

Because of its outstanding heat and acid stability SuperBrite RSP350 is suitable for application in conventional resin finishing processes also in wet or moist acid cross linking processes.

SuperBrite RSP350 is also suitable for application in starch, PVA or similar type finishes. Typical application levels are between 5 and 10 g/l.

 By Exhaustion

Although SuperBrite RSP350 is a low substantive product, it can be exhausted on to cellulosic fiber by the addition of 10% Sodium Chloride or 15% Sodium Sulfate (Anhydrous) to the dye bath. The whitening effect achieved with SuperBrite RSP350 is affected by the temperature of application.

This is illustrated in the following graph which shows the effects on the fluorescence of patterns of cotton,  which  have  been  treated  with  the  same  amount  of  SuperBrite RSP350  at  different temperatures. Typical application levels range from 0.5-1.0% on weight of fabric.

• Imparts excellent wet and dry crease resistance.
• Does not impair the shade or color fastness of bright shades.
• Suitable for use with optical brighteners.
• Gives Chlorine resistant finishes

Usage Profile

 Recommended Application/ Recipes:

 Pre-dilution

The required amount of Texicil AN-GCG is diluted in cold water. Other finishing chemicals are added and finally, the diluted catalyst before making up the final volume with water.

2. General

The amount of Texicil AN-GCG required should be in the region of

Texicil AN-GCG                         35 – 130 g/l

depending on the fabric and the desired effect. Under normal curing conditions, the preferred catalyst is:-Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate 15% on weight of resin but when flash cure conditions are encountered, a small amount of either Sodium Fluoroborate or Aluminium Chloride 0.2g/l is required in addition to the magnesium chloride.

The fabrics should be padded at 60 – 80% pick up and dried at 110°C before curing at 150 -180°C.The time of curing is dependent on the temperature and length of the stenter and may vary between e.g. 2 minutes and 30 seconds according to temperature.

It is recommended that a small amount of a non-ionic wetting agent e.g.:- Licisol AN-LD 0.25g/l. is incorporated into all finishing baths to achieve even wetting out of the fabrics, except were this will impair the final result e.g. waterproofing and fluorocarbon finishes.
