CATFIX-511

CATFIX-511 | Cationising Agent for Pigment Dyeing

Product Information

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.

Application

The fabric to be cationzed should be free from anionic impurities (*see below)

* Process sequence

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 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]

  • Treat the fabric with cationic agent namely 0.5 g/l Fixanol(Conc). or 1 g/l
  • Saradye-FN to achieve uniform or even dyeing


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.

Shelf Life : 9 months from the date of manufacturing, if stored under controlled conditions.
