| Ionic Nature | Pseudo nonionic |
| Compatability | Compatible with most anionic, cationic and nonionic dyestuffs and auxiliaries used in textile processing |
| Application | Can be used in all equipment for the dyeing of nylon with acid, disperse and neutral premetallized dyes, eliminating the need for additional auxiliaries. The product has excellent anticoprecipitant and free rinsing properties. |
| Usage | Package, Beam and Paddle:
|
Beck and Skein Dye:
| |
| Handling Recommendation | Should be stored where freezing will not occur, however, product is freeze/thaw stable. |
| Special Note | Excellent scour for 100% nylon |
* With fast striking dyestuffs such as Direct Turquoise the addition of a small amount of ammonia is recommended (0.25-0.50%)
STANFIX 1141-N Acid Dye Fixative
STANFIX 1141-N is a fixing agent to improve wet fastness of acid dyes on nylon fibers. It also reduces the acid dye stain on white nylon print grounds when used in the after-scouring bath.
It acts as a reserving agent for nylon and minimizes the staining of nylon fibers by direct dyes when dyeing nylon/cellulosic blends.
STANFIX 1141-N is also recommended for the union dyeing of nylon/wool blends.
Product Benefits
- Excellent wash fastness
- Optimum reserving action of nylon in the presence of direct dyes
- Minimal effect on lightfastness
- Minimal shade change
- Recommended for dyeing nylon/rayon automotive upholstery
- Suitable for union dyeing of nylon/wool blends
Typical Properties (not to be used for setting specifications)
| Physical Form | Dark brown liquid |
| Ionic Nature | Anionic |
| pH (as supplied) | 10.5 ± 0.5 |
| Solubility | Miscible with water in all proportions |
| Storage Stability | Two years |
| Freeze/Thaw | Do not freeze |
| Precaution | Do not mix concentrated products with acids |
Suggested Procedure
- Aftertreat dyed goods by adding 1% Acetic Acid to 100°F bath
- Heat to 120°F and add 3-4% STANFIX 1141-N
- Heat to 140-160°F and hold for 15 minutes
- Drop, rinse, finish as usual
