Pale Yellow Wetasin-aca (Anticreasing Lubricant)

Wetasin-ACA (Agasint Depsolube ACA of Croda)

wetasin-aca is an excellent emulsifier with anti-crease properties that eliminates problems associated with difficulty in removal of oils, fats, silicone and wax from yarn and fabric made from cellulose, polyester, polyamide, elastane blends.

composition                  blend of special phosphate esters

appearance                    light brown liquid of moderate viscosity

solubility                         miscible in water

 compatibility               stable to acids and alkalis. unaffected by hard

                                             water or electrolytes

f   fabric without spot stains or creases.

f   additional anti-crease agents need not be added.

f   applicable in pre-treatment, dye bath and after treatment. ƒ

f   no restraining effect.

f   no unpleasant fumes during drying.

f   higher machine loading at shorter liquor ratios.

f   improves productivity.

f   suitable for all types of equipment, including jet and package

        dyeing machines, drum washing machines for garments etc

f   makes possible scour-dye techniques on 100% polyester. ƒ

f   enhances the heat setting efficiency making fabric more stable for

        processing.

f   improves stain removal after heat setting, particularly on difficult

        fibre types like micro fibres or elastane blends.

general :

combined properties of lubrication, emulsification and anti re-deposition provide unique benefits for special fabrics such as ‘lycra’ blends with cotton, nylon or polyester and micro fibers or micro fiber blends.

wetasin-aca   as an emulsifier and anti-crease agent

add wetasin-aca 0.5 to 1.0 g/l to each hot bath, i.e. pre-scour

or bleach, dye bath and boiling rinse baths

scour-dye for 100% polyester

the bath should be set at 50°c with wetasin-aca 1 to 2 g/l

run for 5 to 10 minutes before the addition of

wetasin-dan (dispersing agent) 0.5 to 1.0 g/l

wetasin- hts (sequestering agent) 0.5 g/l

ph buffer of 4.5 to 5.0 and run 5 to 10 minutes. add well dispersed disperse dyes. raise temperature to 130°c to 135°c, run 15 to 60 minutes depending on depth of shade and class of dyestuffs applied.
