Indigo Denim Processing - Doc

This document provides information on various chemical products used in denim manufacturing and dyeing processes. It discusses wetting agents like E WET OH, E WET MRS, E WET NDG, and E WET ESC which are used to promote wetting during caustic treatment and dyeing. It also mentions sequestering agents like ANTISIL CONZ 1 and silicone emulsions like UNISIL NLP W and UNISIL STB which are used to disperse ions and impart silky feels to fabrics. Performance comparisons between these products and other commercial alternatives are provided through test results on foam production and wetting capacity.

E WET OH
Wetting Agent for Lye Treatment of Warp Yarns
Promotes instant wetting of yarn during caustification. Enables the yarn to reach more deeper/shades. Hues is more uniform and solid. Stable between 5 15 Be'. Anionic/Nonionic. Silicone free. Recipe NaOH E WET OH EXOLINE PAD

EXOLINE PAD
Pick-up Enhancer for Padding Systems
Polymer emulsion. Increase pick-up in padders on hydrophobic and/or tightly woven fabrics. (e.g.) Desizing, Caustification of denim dyeing, CPB dyeing. EXOLINE PAD is used with wetting agent together to achieve synergestic boom.

E WET MRS
Wetting Agent for Mercerising and Caustic Treatment
Sulphated alcohol. Anionic. E WET MRS is highly active, low foaming for alkaline scouring and mercerizing processes. E WET MRS has its best wetting eect in caustic soda of 15 - 30 Be'.

E WET NDG
Wetting and Penetrating agent for Indigo Dyeing
Salt of phosphoric acid ester. Anionic. It is a low foaming padding auxiliary for sulphur and reactive dyeing and ensures uniform pick-up on the width of fabric or rope yarns. E WET NDG is stable up to NaOH, 25 g/L (4Be' Caustic soda) E WET NDG improves reproducibility of dyeings.

E WET ESC
Nonionic Wetting Agent for Padding of Cationic Resins and Softeners
Mixture of surfactants. Nonionic. E WET ESC is specially developed to apply cationic chemicals, like silicone and fatty acid softeners. E WET ESC is a strong penetrator and ensures thourough and uniform pick-up in pad applications. E WET ESC is an eicient deaerator. It may applicable in beam, package or exhaust dyeing.

ANTISIL CONZ 1
Sequestering Agent With Dispersing Eect
Sodium salt of phosphonic acids. Anionic. Excellent dispersing properties in all pH ranges. High complexing properties to calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, chrome and manganese ions. Keeps quiding rollers of Indigo dyeing range in deposit-free form.

UNISIL NLP W
Macro-Nano Silicone Emulsion
Modified, functional, polydimethyl siloxane. Weakly cationic. Due to its strong concentration, application amount is very low. It is advised for knits and woven fabrics

UNISIL STB
Micro-Macro Silicone Emulsion
Modified, functional, polydimethyl siloxane with moderate amine number. Weakly cationic UNISIL STB is nano size silicone emulsion imparting the fabric bulky, exible handle with a slippery eect . It is advised for knits and woven fabrics.
