Colors May Vary Across Screens The shades illustrated on this website are intended to convey the general color characteristics of each dye and are not intended to be an accurate representation of how the finished dyeings will actually appear. Due to differences in computer monitors, screen resolutions and graphics cards, the colors displayed here may vary.

One-Bath System Reduces Dyeing Time Up To 50%
Lower your energy consumption
Simplified system requires fewer steps, uses less water and conserves resources

No alkali is required for fixation which eliminates 2-3 rinse cycles

Complete addition of chemicals early in the dyeing cycle

Shorter dye cycle drastically reduces demand on utilities for heat and power

Reduce your chemical usage
Neutral dyes release Niacin (vitamin B3) instead of hydrochloric acid

Cleaner effluent quality means reduced wastewater treatment

Only one electrolyte and one buffer needed to maintain pH

Improve the appearance and tensile strength of cellulosic fibers — **One-Bath System Reduces Dyeing Time Up To 50%**

Excellent Performance in a Wide Range of Conditions
Improve reproducibility
KAYACELON REACT dyes have lower sensitivity to dyehouse variables which improves lot-to-lot reproducibility

Better reproducibility reduces the need for reworks, lowers labor and utility costs and increases your productivity

Enhance fabric appearance
Harsher Monochlorotriazine hot-dyeing reactives can degrade the tensile strength of cellulosic fibers

Neutral Dyes Release No Hydrochloric Acid
KAYACELON REACT dyes have the same shade, colorfastness and binding strength as monochlorotriazine (MCT) hot dyeing type reactive dyes because they contain the identical chromophore.

The difference is that the reactive group 3-Carboxy pyridinio-s-triazine is used in place of chlorine.

At the end of the cycle, KAYACELON REACT dyes release nicotinic acid (Niacin) which is the water-soluble vitamin B3.

Conventional MCT reactive dyes release hydrochloric acid which must be neutralized in the wastewater treatment area before discharge into the effluent. — **Neutral Dyes Release No Hydrochloric Acid**

Procedure: High Temp Dyeing of 100% Cotton

Set bath at 110ºF with:
1. 1.0g/l Buffer P-7
2. 0.5g/l Sequestering Agent (if needed)
Run 5 minutes.
Add pre-dissolved KAYACELON REACT™ Dye (dissolve at 180ºF).
Run 10-minutes.
Add 1/10 total amount of sodium sulfate.
Run 10-minutes.
Add remaining 9/10 of sodium sulfate.
Check pH (6.5-7.5) and salt concentration.
Heat to 250ºF at 3-5ºF/minute
Run 15-20 minutes, depending on the depth of shade.
Cool to 170ºF. Sample.
If shade is acceptable, drop bath.
Fill and heat to 140ºF, run 10-minutes. Drop Bath.
Fill hot and add:
1. Xg/l Scouring Agent
Heat to 200º, run 10-minutes. Cool and drop bath.
Fill and heat to 140º, run 10-minutes. Drop Bath.
Rinse until clear, unload.

If brine or common salt is used, the recommended amount is 70% of the amount illustrated in the table above.

Buffer P-7:

Properties

Appearance: White Powder

Composition: Mixture of Phosphates

pH: 6.5 (1.0 g/l aqueous solution with 40 g/l of Glauber’s salt)

Solubility: Dissolves Easy in Warm Water

Characteristics

pH of 6.8-7.2 is produced in a dyebath containing Glauber’s salt.
Especially useful for one-bath dyeing of 100% cotton with KAYACELON REACT™ Dye.

Usage

Add 1.0g/l to the dyebath for dyeing with KAYACELON REACT™ Reactive Dye.
Neutralization in advance is required if strong alkali or acid is used for pretreatment.
