Dyeing method for PES-CEL blends

Two-bath processFN-FAST
Highest wash fastness performance ever achieved with
disperse/reactive dyes
For articles where the wash fastness is the main issue
Use of state-of-the-art disperse dyes TERASIL WW/W-EL in
conjunction with state-of-the-art reactive dyes NOVACRON FN
More process time, water and energy consumption needed due to
the two-bath technique

used, the amount of salt must be doubled.

CLARITE GS Processor for batchwise, discontinuous systems.

bleach-processor Crystallization and precipitation-inhibiting action in heavily soiled
bleaching systems such as one-stage rapid bleaching, and in extreme-
ly short-liquor-ratio machines. Contains no surfactant; anionic.

CLARITE COM Combination product for batch-wise bleaching with peroxide.

bleach-processor Regulates the formation of active oxygen.
No other additions to the bleach bath required than hydrogen peroxide
and alkali. Good detergency and emulsifying properties.
Anionic/nonionic.

INVADINE DA Low foaming wetting agent and detergent for discontinuous pretreat-
surfactant ment and continuous immersion processes. Good deter-
gency/emulsifying properties and good hydrophilicity of the goods.
Very effective also on synthetics and Elastane. APEO-free, anionic/
nonionic.

ULTRAVON EL Dissolves grease and oil readily. High wetting/detergent/dispersing

surfactant power reinforced by a crystallization-retarding complexing action. Low-
foaming, stable at high alkali concentrations (up to 300 g/l caustic
soda 100 %).
Suitable for enzymatic desizing. Stain-removing action at high concen-
trations. APEO-free, anionic.

INVATEX AC Special cracking agent to optimize the washing process, mainly

cracking agent applied after bleaching or mercerizing. Core neutralization of the cellu-
lose fiber and extremely clean fabrics through thorough removal of
traces of impurities at the final rinsing stage. High complexing/disper-
sing power and threshold effect. Contains no phosphorous or
surfactant, anionic.

INVATEX SA Versatile sequestrant mixture, especially for acid and alkaline cracking.
cracking agent Marked retardation of crystallization, high capacity to inactivate heavy
metal ions in highly alkaline media. Stable to oxidation and effective at
high alkali concentrations (>300 g/l caustic soda 100 %).
Prevents precipitation in causticizing, mercerizing and caustic soda
recuperation baths. Contains no surfactant, anionic.

INVAZYME CAT Stabilized, liquid catalase. The catalase enzyme removes the hydrogen
enzyme peroxide specifically by splitting it into oxygen and water. Improves
shade reproducibility without loss of color yield with dyes that are sen-
sitive to oxidation processes. Outstanding biodegradability.
Very broad application spectrum: pH 310 and temperature up to
65 C.

Neutralizing/final clearing with INVATEX AC at 4060 C for 510 min.
Without draining, remove peroxide with INVAZYME CAT at 4060 C
for 510 min; dyeing can be performed in the same bath.
For goods with high alkaline earth and heavy metal ion contents, it is
advisable to carry out an acid cracking process before bleaching to
enhance effects and process safety.
