Six Advantages of KAYACRYL Basic ED Dyes
KAYACRYL Basic ED Dyes are an economical alternative because they require no expensive chemicals — which also reduces your costs for wastewater treatment.
- KAYACRYL Basic ED dyes are water soluble. No acids or alcohols are needed to put these dyes in solution before using. Dyestuff preparation errors are virtually eliminated.
- KAYACRYL Basic ED dyes are compatible with direct, disperse or acid dyestuffs in the same bath. No expensive anti-precipitant chemicals are needed. Bronzing and blocking caused by different dye types are eliminated.
- KAYACRYL Basic ED dyes level so well that you can make color adds without completely cooling dye bath. No time lost on cool-down and no money lost on water or steam.
- KAYACRYL Basic ED dyes give excellent color yields on acrylic fibers without using a dye carrier. Significant chemical savings are realized and pollution caused by carriers is eliminated.
- KAYACRYL Basic ED dyes show excellent reserve in multifiber blends. Unlimited color combinations are available for one-bath dyeing of blended fibers.
- Leveling characteristics of KAYACRYL Basic ED dyes are so good that the lightest pastel shades can be attained on bagged goods or yarn packages. Re-dyes become insignificant.
