|
Compatibility
|
Compatible with anionic, cationic and nonionic products
|
Stability
|
Stable to dilute acids and dilute alkalies
|
It is highly effective in a cooling acid dye bath, the pH of the bath should be 3.5-4.5
After dyeing, treat the dyed substrate at 70-80 deg.C for 10-20 min. followed by rinsing.
SUGGESTED RECIPE - Light to Medium shade
Substrate | Dosage* |
---|---|
Polyester | 0.5-1% (owf) |
Polyester/Spandex | 1-2% (owf) |
Saragen-SO | 0.3-0.5 g/l (Optional) OR |
Saragen-DAM | 1.0-2.0% (Optional) |
Addition of dispersing agents (Saragen-SO, Saragen-DAM) improves removal of dye in case of polyester/spandex.
Dosages of diluted product to be calculated on the basis of solid content.
Dosages to be taken depending on the depth of shade.
Note : For Dark shade
Instructions For Dilution
Procedure to prepare 25% diluted product of 100% Reducon-ACD (Conc)
Preservation: It is recommended to add 0.1% Bronopol (2-Bromo,2-nitropropane, 1,3-diol) or Methyl Paraben (methyl para hydroxy benzoate) as an antimicrobial agent to avoid fungal / microbial growth.
