Sulfaxil AR liq.is a mild oxidising agent, effective in acid conditions, and designed to improve the shade reproducibility and yield of those disperse dyes, which are sensitive to reducing conditions.

Your Advantage
§ Extends shade gamuts of disperse dyes available for use.
§ Ensures consistency of shade reproduction.
§ Enables attainment of the highest fastness levels on polyester and polyester-cellulose blends e.g. Marks & Spencer C4A Wash Test (60oC), Adidas Wash Test and C06/C2 Wash Test.
§ Zero foam and easy to handle.
§ No effluent and TDS problems.

Features
· Retains oxidising powers in high temperature (130o C) acidic exhaust,
disperse dyebath conditions, and therefore remains capable of being
reduced in preference to the disperse dye(s).
· Effective in those instances where reducing conditions are likely to prevail,
which includes:-
Fully flooded machinery
Blends of polyester with viscose rayon
Blends of polyester with cotton where the cotton has been degraded in alkaline scouring and bleaching.
Certain grades of stainless steel.
· Completely non-foaming.

Storage
Store in a cool dry place. Stable under normal conditions.

Health and Safety
Health and handling advice on these products is given in individual data sheets, available upon request.

Application
The amount of Sulfaxil AR liq. to be used will vary depending upon the prevailing conditions in the dye bath, but will in general be as follows:-
1. Where particularly strong reducing conditions may occur.
e.g. fully flooded systems, polyester-viscose blends etc.
Sulfaxil AR liq. ::---> 2 g/l
Should be added to the dyebath, at the same time as other dyeing auxiliaries, and before the dyestuff(s)
2. In other dyeing systems
Sufaxil AR liq. ::---> 1 g/l
Will generally be sufficient to prevent reduction
3. In the batchwise dyeing of 100% polyester ground shades to be subsequently discharge printed
Sulfaxil AR liq ::---> 2 g/l
NB: It is most important to ensure that the high temperature (130°C) dyebath pH is maintained at the recommended pH 4.5 - 5.0 by adding acetic acid prior to addition of the dyes and ensuring there is sufficient acetic acid to maintain the pH at 4.5 - 5.0 throughout the dyeing phase.
Stock solutions of dyebath auxiliaries containing Sulfaxil AR liq. should not be kept for long periods because the product exhibits limited cold water solubility when mixed with other products.
