SYNTRAN 8441-N

  • For color fastness to washing; removal of excess / non-fixed dye after dying / printing. 
  • Used in detergents and textile auxiliaries avoids incrustation, greyness of fabrics and keeps fabric fresh in terms of colour, brightness and feel, thereby increasing the life of the fabric.
  • Boosts detergency.
  • Enhances soil dispersion and prevents its redeposition.
  • Excellent temperature and chlorine stability.
  • Biodegradable.

SYNTRAN 8442-N

  • Used in detergents and textile auxiliaries avoids incrustation, greyness of fabrics and keeps fabric fresh in terms of colour, brightness.

B. Sequestrants

 

SYNTRAN® polycarboxylates as sequestrants (chelating agents) for usage during scouring, dyeing, printing and other textile treatment processes.

 

By formation of a water-soluble complex with metal ions (Mg2+, Ca2+), these ions are prevented from impairing the solubility of anionic (hydroyzed reactive) dyes.

 

Polycarboxylates do not attach metal complex dyes.  They therefore have no ill effect on the shade or fastness of dyeings.

SYNTRAN 8520

  • Starting product for manufacturing dispersing agents
  • Auxiliary sequestering agent in dying baths
  • For very efficient calcium carbonate inhibition and dispersion

SYNTRAN 8220

  • Highly efficient auxiliary sequestering agent in dying baths, particularly in the case of calcium carbonate hardness

SYNTRAN 8551

  • Auxiliary sequestering agent in dying baths
  • For efficient calcium phosphate inhibition and very efficient iron oxide inhibition

SYNTRAN 8552

  • Sequestering agent in dying baths
  • For efficient calcium phosphate inhibition in the presence of iron
  • Iron hydroxide inhibition and iron oxide dispersion

SYNTRAN 8250

  • Auxiliary sequestering agent in dying baths
  • Highly efficient at preventing precipitation of iron and calcium salts

C.   Fiber Sizing

 

SYNTRAN ® polycarboxylates for strengthening and smoothening of polyamide filament yarns by forming thin, watersoluble films on the fibers. By lubrication a better processability can be achieved in fiber production.

SYNTRAN 8280 and SYNTRAN 8282 form a clear film which is hard and tack free at 20°C and 65% relative humidity.  At higher degrees of atmospheric humidity, the film becomes softer due to increased water absorption.  The film is readily soluble in water.

 

SYNTRAN 8280, 8282

  • Sizing agent for polyamide filament yarns, twisted and untwisted.
  • Finishing agent for polyamide textile fabrics.
  • Forms a hard and tack-free film upon drying under ambient conditions, that is readily soluble in water.

Typical use level:  50-100 g/l.
