Athon TX 280 Anti-Yellowing is a blend of non-ionic surfactants.
•Completely miscible with cold water •High stability
•Prevents or reduces yellowing in polyester, polyamide and polyamide/elastane fabrics during heat treatments
•Prevents yellowing of the fiber and impurities, such as oils
•Guarantees greater reproducibility of the dyeing, with excellent color yield
•Very useful in directly heated stent equipment, where the formation of NOx gases is a common problem
•Can be used on textiles that need to comply with Ecolabel and Oeko-Tex 100 standards
Athon TX 280 Anti-Yellowing prevents the oxidation of amino terminal groups of the polyamide during heat treatment, which allows the dyeing process to obtain better yields and reproducibility.
Especially recommended for foulard application, best
Results are obtained by applying Athon TX 280 Anti-Yellowing just before the heat treatment. After treatment the fabric can be washed if necessary. Reductive or fluorescent bleaching can be performed in conjunction with washing. Fabrics can be dyed in the usual way.
Usage suggestion:
10 to 30 g/L of Athon TX 280 Anti-Yellowing, with pH adjusted to 5 to 6 with citric acid and approximate pick-up of 50 to 75%. If necessary, intermediate drying at 100°C and then heat treatment at 180 to 200°C. This is followed by scouring, dyeing or optical bleaching treatments.
