Applicable Dyeing Processes
1.High-temperature high-pressure exhaust dyeing (Preferred)
Dyeing temperature: 130℃; heat setting temperature: 220~230℃~230℃
2.Thermosol pad dyeing: Suitable for one-bath / two-bath dyeing of polyester-cotton fabrics
3.Carrier dyeing: Normal atmospheric pressure dyeing for polyester
4.Post-treatment: Reduction clearing with sodium hydrosulfite + caustic soda at 70~80℃ to remove floating color and improve fastness
Application Scope
1.Textile Industry
- Dyeing and printing for polyester, polyester-cotton, polyester-viscose fabrics
- Applicable to nylon, acetate fiber coloration
- Tolerant to wrinkle-free & durable press finishing treatments
2. Color Matching: Widely used yellow component for three-primary color blending; good compatibility with disperse red & disperse blue to formulate dark shades including dark brown, olive, army green
3. Other Fields: Plastic coloration, solvent-based ink, heat transfer printing ink
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages:
- Bright shade, high tinting strength, superior fastness to light, washing and perspiration
- Stable dispersion system, no agglomeration & filter clogging under high temperature
- Low cotton staining during polyester-cotton dyeing, excellent color matching compatibility
Disadvantages:
- Medium sublimation fastness, not suitable for harsh high-temperature pleating & high-temperature transfer printing scenarios
- Inferior anti-thermal migration performance compared with Disperse Yellow 54
Packaging & Storage
- Standard package: 25kg woven bag / fiber drum
- Storage requirement: Sealed, cool, dry & ventilated warehouse
- Shelf life: 2 years
