Characteristics
- Cafix A-38 can apply in all kinds of dyeing machine and continuous fixing machine.
- Cafix A-38 doesn’t contain sulfuric acid, so it won’t erode the cylinder wall and gum gasket in the process. It also don’t have stink odor of sulfuric acid and formaldehyde.
- Cafix A-38 can increase color fastness in acid dyes for washing fastness.
- Low yellowing and no shade change in sensitive color, such as water blue, turquoise blue and other low color.
- After fixing process, it won’t affect hand feeling and water absorbency. It can increase the effect of water and oil repellent, quick absorbing and dry, softener lubricant and resin.
- Do not contain hazardous substance and heavy metals which conforms the infant criteria and formaldehyde conform adult garment criteria.
Application
Add Cafix A-38 in the water, adjust pH5.0 to 6.0 by glacial acetic acid, pour in the bath, make
pH 4.0 to 4.5 and processing 20~30 mins in 60 ~ 80℃ before washing.
- Processing in dyeing machine the usage is around 1 to 2% o.w.f(Depends on the dyes fastness and fabric.)
- The usage in continuous fixing machine and continuous dyeing machine is around 3~4g/L.
Precautions
- The best temperature for Cafix A-38 in the bath is 80℃ and the best pH value is 4.0 slowly adjusting by glacial acetic acid.
- Dilute before using. Before applying Cafix A-38, you should prevent it from high concentration of other liquid.
- If you add pH buffer AS-N in the dyeing bath, it will has better effect.
- Do not add high concentration of Cafix A-38 in the dyeing bath. It will cause neutralization rapidly and lead to fixing spot. First, add in pH5.0 ~ 6.0 liquid. Second, add in pH4.0~4.5 dyeing bath.
- If you processing in low temperature(5℃ below), add 40℃ warm water for full dilution. Then, add in the dyeing machine.
- If you leveling agent for dyeing is nonionic /cationic, you need to washing completely or it will cause fixing spot on the fabric.
