COLORPLUS-XL

Loop accelerator for developing disperse color, gives 10 to 25% higher color value

COLORPLUS-XL is a Loop accelerator for developing disperse color gives 10 to 25% higher color value.
Speciality accelerator for developing disperse color printed polyester materials by loop steaming / thermo fixing. The addition of COLORPLUS-XLgives 10 to 25% higher color value depending upon the chemical nature of the color. COLORPLUS-XLis a useful tool for improved leveling when printed goods are to be developed by HTHP steaming & for dyeing by ‘Pad - Dry - Develop’ method.

PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
1. Pale yellow transparent viscous liquid.

2. Mild harmless odor.
3. Dilutable with water to any extent. pH of 10% solution is 5.0-5.5
4. Nonionic in nature.

PRINTING APPLICATION
1. Make the gum paste as usual.
2. Add citric acid or any suitable acid to adjust the pH to 5.0 - 5.5.
3. Add 1.0 - 2.0 % of COLORPLUS-XLas an accelerator in above gum for prints to be developed by ‘Loop Aging’. Add 0.25 - 0.5% of COLORPLUS-XLto the above gum as the leveling agent if prints are to be developed by HTHP.
4. Add predispersed colour in adequate quantity of water and mix well to obtain desirable depth and tone of the shade.
5. Print, dry, loop age/thermofix/HTHP as usual.
6. Wash, dry and finish as usual.

MECHANISM OF COLORPLUS-XL

COLORPLUS-XLacts as a hydrotropic agent, dissolving the colour in itself and then getting dissolved in aqueous phase. This reduces the particle size of the disperse colour, making it easier to penetrate. After printing and drying, COLORPLUS-XLforms the near most layer to the polyester because of its affinity to the same. Disperse colour dissolves in this layer and transfers to the polyester, giving better colour value. COLORPLUS-XLwhen used in discharge prints, gives improved clarity of the discharge effects.

COLORPLUS-XLfixes more amount of colour, leaving less amount of free colour to be washed off in subsequent process. This reduces the colour load in washing giving more probability to obtain tint free, brighter prints.

DYEING APPLICATION
Addition of 10 to 15 gpl of COLORPLUS-XLin padding solution for ‘Pad Dry Develop’ method gives excellent leveling for dyed goods.

COLORPLUS-XLis also useful in resist printing to obtain more clear, bright resist effects both in disperse & reactive illuminating colours. COLORPLUS-XLhelps in obtaining level resist effect.

Another end use of COLORPLUS-XLis in pigment printing. At 0.5 % level it improves the levelness & penetration of the print & feel of the cloth. The colour value is also improved to the extent of 5 to 10% depending on colour to colour.
