PRODUCT LITERATURE

SARABLOOM-DS

Product Information

Sarabloom-DS is a special colour deepening agent which imparts reasonably durable shade enhancing effect. Sarabloom-DS shows blooming effect on cotton, wool, synthetic fabric and their blends particularly with dark and deep shade such as blacks and navy blues. Sarabloom-DS imparts slightly redder tone on the treated fabric. Treatment with Sarabloom-DS confers soft, pleasing and silky feel to the finished substrate thus the addition of conventional softeness can be reduced from the recipe.

Precautions :

* Any strong mechanical finish like calendering, pressure decatising etc. which can affect the surface characteristics of the finished fabric may reduce blooming effect.

* Blooming effect will not be observed for dyefixed fabric.

* pH of padding solution should be 4.5-5.0. If pH increases to alkaline side, the emulsion becomes unstable resulting in the formation of white specks and ultimately lower colour deepening effect.

* Make small volume of pad solution to avoid tailing problem.

Precautions

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.
