Dyeing method for PES-CEL blends

Washing off

• 10 min rinse at 50 °C/122 °F• 10 min neutralize at 50 °C/122 °F (with acetic acid)• 15 min soap at 90 °C/194 °F with 0.5−2 g/l ERIOPON® R LIQ

or 1–2 g/l ALBATEX® DS• 10 min rinse at 50 °C/122 °F• 10 min rinse cold

For very deep shades we recommend an additional rinse at 90 °C/194 °F.

Two-bath process—FN-FAST

• Highest wash fastness performance ever achieved with disperse/reactive dyes

• For articles where the wash fastness is the main issue• Use of state-of-the-art disperse dyes TERASIL WW/W-EL in

conjunction with state-of-the-art reactive dyes NOVACRON FN• More process time, water and energy consumption needed due to

the two-bath technique• No intermediate reduction clearing necessary

Cooling/rinsing combined or separate hot rinse; drain.

Neutralizing/final clearing with INVATEX® AC at 40–60 °C for 5–10 min.

Without draining, remove peroxide with INVAZYME® CAT at 40–60 °Cfor 5–10 min; dyeing can be performed in the same bath.

For goods with high alkaline earth and heavy metal ion contents, it isadvisable to carry out an acid cracking process before bleaching toenhance effects and process safety.
