Catfix-511 is a special cationizing agent developed to improve the exhaustion of pigment on cellulosic and cellulosic rich blends. Catfix-511 can also be used for the fixation of indigo and sulphur dyes. It can also be used in pre-treatment of substrate in pigment inkjet printing. Novel effects can be obtained on garments by localised application of Catfix-511, as it has good affinity for anionic dyes.
Key Features | Benefits |
---|---|
Low molecular weight product | Uniform depostion of Catfix-511 |
High cationic charge density product | - High exhaustion rate
- Performance of 1% Catfix-511 is better than conventional product |
Wide pH range | Applicable at pH 5-10 |
Very good affinity for pigment | Less bleeding of pigment during subsequent softening /biopolishing process |
One step process for lighter shades | - No/less quantity of binder require
- Saving in energy and time |
Formaldehyde free | Suitable for Oekotex and baby wear |
Physical appearance | Colourless to pale yellow clear to hazy liquid |
Ionic nature | Cationic |
pH of 1% solution | 4 +/- 1 |
Miscibility | Miscible with water |
Compatibility | Compatible with cationic and nonionic products |
Stability | Stable to dilute acids and dilute alkalies |
The fabric to be cationzed should be free from anionic impurities (*see below)
1. Treat substrate with below mentioned dosages of Catfix-511 at 50 deg.C for 20 mins.
Pigment depth Catfix-511 to be taken:
Pigment | Catfix-511 to be taken |
---|---|
4% | 1-1.5% |
4-6% | 1.5-2.0% |
6-9% | 2-2.5% |
2. Dye the Catfix-511 treated fabric with pigment at 60 deg.C for 30 mins.and Drain
3. After pigment dyeing, treat the fabric at 50 deg.C with binder for 20 mins.
[Take binder as per depth of shade]
Precautionary measures -
Storage | Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight.Storage temperature should not exceed 35 deg C.Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture. |
Shelf Life | 8 months from the date of manufacturing, if stored under controlled conditions. |
