SARACID - RS
Product Information
Saracid-RS is specially developed acid buffer which is viscose                  
friendly. Thus, in dyeing and printing of polyester fabrics containing viscose  
fibre, Saracid-RS can safely be used which does not damage viscose. Saracid-RS  
performs various functions when added to the dyebath used for dyeing polyester  
and its                                                                         
blends. Saracid-RS exerts a buffering action in the dyebath, has dispersing     
action on the dyestuffs, prevents its deposition on the fabric or machine parts 
and has chelating action on heavy metal salts that may be present in water used 
in dyeing.                                                                      
                                                                                
Saracid-RS can also be used during batching of fabric for printing, during      
pad-dry-thermofix operation for continuous dyeing. Addition of Saracid-RS in    
print paste is also helpful to obtain required yields with brightness.          
Saracid-RS improves print paste stability and prevents speckiness.
