processing.

fastness, cost, color constancy. Under these circumstances a higher degree of
levelness can be difficult to achieve on the substrate without complicated and
time consuming processing.

resultant from poor manufacture.

hardness of the water supplied to the dyehouse is above 5º English hardness
(equivalent to 4º German hardness)

Uniperol XP-O - Oligomer Control : Ethoxylated olecic acid derivative

Uniperol XP-O prevents the build-up of deposits produced by oligomers released
from the polyester fiber during dyeing. It keeps these oligomers finely dispersed,
thus preventing both deposits on the substrate, which result in a "graying" of the
fabric, and deposits within the dyeing machinery itself. The use of this product
will depend upon the quality of the polyester being processed.
