Application
Preparation of padding bath with Rubfast-116 :
- Take required quantity of Rubfast-116 (30 g/l)
- To this, gradually add water (pH 5.5-6.4) and make the total volume. Avoid using hard water.
- Mix well to get uniform solution
- Solution of 30 g/l Rubfast-116 will appear straw white in colour with pH 3.5-3.6
- Adjust final pH to 3-3.6
Padding Application :
Pad -> Dry at 130-160 deg.C
Spray application:
Dosage : 30 g/l
Spray-->Dry--> Cure @ 130-160 deg.C, 2-3 min
Note :
1. Avoid using hard water.
2. Fabric to be treated should be free from anionic components.
3. pH of the fabric should be neutral.
4. Absorbency of fabric should be instant. To improve absorbency of all over printed fabric (reactive/pigment), 0.2-0.5 g/l Celldet-R (wetting agent) is to be added in the finishing bath.
5. For garments, it is essential to cure at 150 deg.C after exhaustion.
6. Rubfast-116 has limited durability to washing.
Note:
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.
