Albigen A
Polyvinylpyrrolidone solution.
Strongly fibre-affinitive stripping and levelling auxiliary for vat, sulfur, direct
and reactive dyeings. Levelling agent with retarding action in dyeing with
vat and direct dyes. Prevents staining of the ground when prints produced
with direct and reactive dyes are washed off.
Bafixan
Bafixan colorants are low-electrolyte, liquid disperse dye preparations that,

together with our auxiliary system, meet the requirements of ko-Tex
Standard 100. Bafixan colorants are used in transfer printing with aqueous
print pastes. Because of their similar sublimation properties, they are
highly combinable and give very reproducible results.
Basacryl Salt KM
Aqueous solution of a quaternary ammonium compound.

Levelling agent in dyeing anionic PAN fibres with cationic dyes. Non-foaming
migrating auxiliary with good combinability and no fibre-blocking action.
Basacryl Salt MX
Surface-active compound.
Retarder with pronounced migration-promoting properties for dyeing
polyacrylonitrile fibres with cationic dyes. Combinable with dyes with the
combination numbers 1 to 5.
BASF Liquid Reactive

Resist Agent
Sulfonic acid derivative.

For white and coloured resist prints with suitable reactive dyes under
suitable vinyl sulfone dyes. Offers the following advantages: simple but
flexible application, reliable procedure, and effects of the highest brilliance.
Basojet PEL Conc.
Fatty acid ethoxylate and condensation product.

Liquid, APEO-free combined dispersing and levelling agent for PES dyeing
under acid conditions. Basojet PEL Conc. greatly reduces deposition of PES
oligomers on fibres and in dyeing machines, thus minimizing associated
problems and improving the sewability of yarns.
Basopal PK 98
Alkaline solution of inorganic sodium salts. Anionic.

Peroxide killer for removing residual peroxide from the bleach before
dyeing with reactive or direct dyes.
Basosoft D
Fatty acid condensation product.

Liquid, universal, cationic softener. For all fibres and blends. Imparts a very
soft handle. Can be used on loose stock, card sliver, tops, yarn or piece
goods, and applied by all sorts of different methods, such as dipping, padding or spraying. Indigo-dyed denim treated with Basosoft D yellows much
less during storage.
Basosoft EUK Conc.
Fatty acid condensation product.

Universal cationic softener in flake form (100 %) for all fibres and blends.
Imparts a very soft handle. It can be used on loose stock, card sliver, tops,
yarn or piece goods, and applied by all sorts of different methods, such as
dipping, padding and spraying.
Basosoft JET-K
Mixture of fatty acid condensation products and paraffin wax.

Cationic smoothing and softening agent for all types of fibres and blends.
Improves the sewability of knitgoods. Ideal for softening loose stock and
yarn, e. g. the softening of rope in denim manufacture. Little tendency to
foam.
Basosoft SWK
Mixture of a fatty acid condensation product and polyethylene wax.

Weakly cationic smoothing and softening agent with an antistatic effect for
all types of fibres and blends. Free of paraffin wax and silicone. Improves
sewability. Can be applied to yarn or piece goods by padding or the
exhaust process, e. g. in jet dyeing machines.

white shade. Especially for wool. Light fastness of brightening unsurpassed.
Condensol FB
Synergistic mixture of metal salts.

Highly efficient catalyst for the resin finishing of textiles composed of cellulosic fibres, alone and in blends with synthetic fibres. Compared with standard metal-salt catalysts, Condensol FB permits a marked reduction in the
curing temperature or curing time. Ideal for one-step drying and curing.
Significantly reduces the free-formaldehyde content as measured by the
various test methods.
Condensol LF
Mixture of a metal salt and a polyamide solution.

Catalyst for the resin finishing of textiles composed of cellulosic fibres,
alone and in blends with synthetic fibres. Compared with magnesium chloride, significantly reduces the free-formaldehyde content measured by the
LAW 112 and AATCC 112 methods (EN ISO 14184, Parts 1 and 2), so that
the formaldehyde limits of ko-Tex Standard 100 (< 75 ppm according to
LAW 112) can usually be met with low-formaldehyde crosslinking agents
without afterwashing. The product also makes the fabric soft, smooth and
hydrophilic.
Condensol N
Synergistic mixture of inorganic salts.

Catalyst used exclusively with the formaldehyde-free crosslinker Fixapret NF
in the resin finishing of textiles composed of cellulosic fibres and their
blends with synthetic fibres. Greatly reduces the possibility of a garlic-like
smell after finishing, which sometimes occurs with magnesium chloride.

with disperse dyes on polyester and its blends. Can be applied without
additional alkali.
Cyclanon E
Aqueous solution of polyquaternary compounds. Formaldehyde-free.

Aftertreatment agent for dyeings and prints produced with reactive dyes. It
particularly improves the contact wet fastness properties and the fastness
to water and perspiration of reactive dyeings. It has no effect on shade or
handle and very little effect on the light fastness.
Cyclanon ECO
Aqueous solution of a sulfinic acid derivative.

Liquid reducing agent for post-clearing dyeings with disperse dyes on
PES, PES/PAN and acetate. Added directly to the acid dyebath. Avoids
the double pH change of conventional post-clearing.

Aftertreatment agent for dyeings and prints produced with reactive and
direct dyes and indigo. Particularly improves the wash fastness ratings.
Can be used in the same treatment bath as Cyclanon E.

APEO-free.
Low-foaming auxiliary for the non-reductive post-clearing of dyeings and
prints on PES fibres and blends of PES with wool and cellulosic fibres.
Forms very little foam and can therefore be used to advantage in semiflooded jet-dyeing machines.
Cyclanon R
Mixture of a reducing agent and ethoxylates.

Sulfur-free liquid auxiliary for the reductive post-clearing of dyeings with
disperse dyes on synthetic fibres. Mixture of a reducing agent and a nonionic dispersing and softening agent. Stable to air and moisture. Reduces
dye residues in the presence of alkalis, disperses dye decomposition
products, and gives a soft finish to the fibre.
page 15 of 28

Cyclanon V

Mg 2+ in dyeing CEL with reactive dyes.
Dekol SN
Acrylic copolymer.
Dispersing agent and protective colloid in dyeing cotton and cotton/synthetic fibre blends with vat, reactive, direct and sulfur dyes. Non-foaming
and non-retarding. Prevents impurities in cotton (pectinates, waxes and
water-hardening substances) from redepositing in the material, and the
formation of dye adducts with these impurities. Highly effective auxiliary for
washing off hydrolysates from dyeings and prints with reactive dyes.
Eulysin DBC
Phosphate-free aqueous solution of dispersing agents, complexing agents

and an acid buffer system.
Multifunctional, liquid product for PES dyeing. Disperses and complexes
hard-water ions, sequesters heavy-metal ions, sets the pH to an optimum
value of 4.5, and is an efficient buffer.
Eulysin S
Mixture of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids.

Used in dyeing and printing as a nonvolatile acid instead of acetic acid.
Applied in a long liquor, in continuous dyeing and in carpet printing. Forms
a very effective buffer with caustic soda.

Lubasin RF New
Viscous polymer solution.

Special screen-printing adhesive for gumming down fabrics composed of
synthetic fibres on rotary-screen printing machines. Diluted with water or
alcohol before use. Since the product becomes insoluble at temperatures
