Catfix-511 is a special cationising 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.

2. Dye the Catfix-511 treated the fabric with pigment at 60 deg.C for 30 mins. and Drain
3. After pigment dyeing, treat the fabric at 50 deg.C with a binder for 20 mins.
[Take binder as per depth of shade]
