Highlights

Product Overview

Yellow 5G
Bright Greenish yellow. Accelerates tendering of cellulose fibres on exposure to light. Causes catalytic fading of Jade Green XBN, particularly when the green is less than 50% of the recipe. Moderate light fastness.

Yellow 4G
Bright greenish yellow. Shading dye for military contract work. Causes catalytic fading of Jade Green XBN when ratio of yellow to green (7.5:1) is exceeded

Gold Orange 3G
General yellowing component. Highly compatible, level dyeing in mixture with Olive R, Brown R / Brown G. Prolonged reduction, particularly at high temperature, leads to red, dull and weaker shades.

Yellow 3RT
General yellowing component. Highly compatible, level dyeing in mixture with Olive R, Brown R / Brown G.

Orange RRTN
Orange with very good all round fastness properties.

Brill. Red 3B
Ideal shading dye in combination shades. Good level dyeing properties. Degradation of the fibre occurs, if excessive cycles of oxidation and reduction occur, particularly in open dyeing machines.

Red 6B / Rubine 6BS
Bluish Red component. Thorough soaping treatment is required to obtain the stable shade.

Brill. Purple 4R
Reddening component for bright blue and reddish navy shades. Ideal for self shades. High strike rate, very sensitive to heat and moisture. Bluer shade is obtained when dyed at higher temperature.

Violet XBN
Less sensitive to water spotting compared to other vat violets. Dyeings can be affected by alkaline storage condition. Re-soaping is required to restore the shade.

Blue BC
Sensitive to calcium temperature and over reduction. Sodium nitrite or, glucose should be added in the dye bath, for dyeing above 60° C. Lower fastness to chlorine at dyeing temperature above 50° C. Rinse immediately after dyeing, in order to avoid greener, duller shades. Add soda ash (2 gpl) to the soaping bath.

Blue RS
Sensitive to calcium, temperature and over reduction. Sodium nitrite or, glucose should be added in the dye bath, for dyeing above 60° C.Poor hypochlorite fastness. Prepare leuco vat in total volume. Avoid oxidation in strongly alkaline baths by rinsing immediately after dyeing. Add soda ash (2 gpl) to the soaping bath.

Blue CLF
Excellent leveling out property. Very useful as a shading component.

Blue RCL
Sensitive to calcium, temperature and over reduction. Sodium nitrite or, glucose should be added in the dye bath, for dyeing above 60° C. Avoid oxidation in strongly alkaline baths by rinsing immediately after dyeing. Add soda ash (2 gpl) to the soaping bath.

Navy Blue RA
Basis for high quality bright navies. Strongly restrained by non-ionic leveling agents. Thorough soaping is required to obtain stable shade.

Dark Blue 2R
Economical basis for dark blue, navy and black shades. Generally shaded with Jade Green XBN. Sensitive to heat and moisture. Thorough soaping is required to obtain stable shade.

Navy Blue VH
