Auxiliaries for Yarn Dyeing | Different Chemicals Used in Yarn

Wet Processing
Various Pretreatment Chemicals:
Bleaching Detergents ( Decols SN, Keiralon 0L,Redol 10s ) : Mostly these are high alkaline detergents.
We have to use these f or removal of dirt / dust & strains.
Alkalis (Soda Ash / Caustic Soda or Soda bi carbonate or
buf f er alkali): We are using alkalis f or saponif ying oil / waxes
& greases present in cotton & other materials.
Oxidizing Agent H2O2 (Hydrogen per oxide): For removing
micro ingredients like minerals, f ertilizer, insecticides &
pesticides we have to use oxidation principle.
Stabilizer (Stabilol P): H2O2 is unstable at high
temperature, to keep it stable & to keep oxidation process
alive we have to use this in bleaching bath.
Sequestering Agent (Secron, Triton T B, Cibacell DBC):
Water contains certain percentage of calcium, magnesium
and other minerals which determine the hardness of water,
this hardness can af f ect dyeing procedure. T his can be
reduced by using sequestering agent.
Anti Oxidants: Any percentage of H2O2 or any other lef t
over f rom bleaching process can af f ect dyes & dyeing
process, So it is advised to use anti oxidants bef ore dyeing process.

Yarn d ye ing

Acid for Neutralization (Acetic acid, f ormic acid): Scouring, Half Bleach, Semi Bleach all are done in
alkaline bath and bef ore going to next bath we need to neutralize it by some organic acid.
Various Dyeing Chemicals:
Leveling agent & Dispersing Agent (Leveler 5L, Redol 200L, Setamol ): We have to use all these
auxiliaries /chemicals f or dispersing dyes equally in dyeing bath, it will help dyes molecule to penetrate in
cone & sit on the surf ace of material evenly & equally.
Reactive Dyes Chemicals:
Alkalis i.e. Caustic soda, Soda Ash, Sodium bi carbonate, Sodium phosphate: All these alkalis can be used
in reactive dyeing process. T he selection & requirement percentage depends on class of dyes, dyeing
method & pH Requirement of the process & dyeing machine.
Salts or Carrier: Common salt & Gulber salt are the common commercial electrolytic that we can use in
dyeing.
Neutral Soap: In soaping we require neutral soap & good sequestering agent to remove superf icial dyes &
salt.
Fixers (Tinof ix, Rewin T N): For Surf ace coating, f ixation of loosely bonded dyes molecules, and f or
catalyzing unreacted reactive dyes molecule some f ixers can also be used up to certain percentage only.
Disperse Dyes Chemicals:
Acid (Formic acid, Acetic acid, Buf f er acid): All these acids can be used f or acidic pH of dyeing bath whose

percentage depends on selected dyes range, dyeing method or dyeing machine.

Reduction Clean Chemicals: Sodium hydrosulphite (hydrous) & caustic soda is a good reduction clean
combination.
After Treatment Chemicals:
Softener: T here are three types of sof teners.
1) Cationic or slightly cationic, these types of sof teners are used f or dyed material.
2) Non ionic, this special class is used f or white and sensitive light shade because it has no yellowing
ef f ect
3) Anionic sof teners, these type of sof teners are required f or particular types of f inishing
Wax: Good wax is also usef ul f or good quality hard winding & its f arther consequent processes.
