REACTIVE
H BRAND DYES are monochlorotriazine
reactive dyes having a low reactivity
and low substantivity. Since these dyes
have low reactivity, they require more
severe conditions for fixation with
cellulosic materials. They are readily
soluble by pouring water of 80-85oC
on powder & stirring well. They
are applicable on cellulosic materials
by both dyeing as well as printing methods.
In comparison with cold brand dyes,
the `H' brand dyes require either a
long steaming time or a high thermofixation
temperature (with urea) for optimum
fixation. H dyes of low to medium substantivity
may lead to migration problem in dyeing
prior to fixation.
When low concentration of highly substantive
dyes are used, tailing becomes evident.
Tailing is avoided by selecting dyes
of low or medium substantivity, using
small padding troughs fed to constant
level and operating at the highest running
speed commensurate with the needs of
the rest of the process

DYEING
METHODS
Though
`H' dyes are of major interest for
printing applications, a variety
of dyeing methods are used for `H'
dyes.
| i) |
Exhaust
dyeing method (Jigger Machines)
Set the dye-bath with required
amount of water at 40oC
and add half the amount
of dyestuff solution with
1-2 g/l resist salt, run
for 1 turn and add the remaining
half amount of dyestuff
solution and run for another
turn.
Then add half of the salt
and start raising the temperature
slowly. (such that 65 to
85oC temperature
could be attained after
two turns). Run for I turn
and then add the remaining
amount of the salt and give
it another turn.
Now add half the amount
of predissolved alkali and
give one turn. Temperature
is maintained at 80oC.
Add remaining half amount
of alkali and give another
three turn for better fixation
give two more turns and
then drain the jigger.

resist salt and dissolved
dye solution is added and
fabric is dyes for 10 minutes.
The required amount of salt
is added and goods are dyed
for about 15 minutes. Then
soda ash is added and dyeing
is continued for further
10 minutes. The goods are
then washed.

The fabric is padded cold
in above padding liquor and
dried in hot flue, hot air
stenter or in drying cylinders.
The dried fabric is then baked
for 30 seconds to 5 minutes
at 200-160oC for
fixation. The drying before
thermofixation should be slow
and even to avoid migration
and an unlevel condition.

then steamed for 60-75 seconds
at 100-105oC and
washed off.

The fabric is padded in the
above padding liquor and covered
with a plastic sheet. Keep
it for maximum 24 hours and
wash.
Washing off procedure
In order to obtain maximum
wet-fastness properties, brightness
and purity of shades with
consistent dyeing results.
It is essential to give a
through 'Soaping' to clear
off unreached hydrolyzed dye
from the dyed fabric.
The dyed fabric is rinsed
repeatedly in cold water to
remove of the alkali, salt
and unfixed dye present and
rinsed again in warm water
not higher than 60oC
then run in a bath containing:
Anionic detergent - 1/2 gms/liter
for 15 minutes at the boil.
Then rinse in warm water (up
to 60 oC) and finally
in cold water. The most satisfactory
results in Washing off, particularly
for piece goods are obtained
by employing an open soaper
or perforated Beam-washing
machine. If such equipments
are not available, conventional
ones like jig or winch may
be used. For yarn in the hank
form open-vat is employed
and for yarn in packaged form
the package-dyeing machine
itself used.
(B) Printing Methods
Due to low reactivity of these
dyes the print paste stability
containing alkali is very
good. Secondly due to low
substantivity the hydrolyzed
dyes have the least tendency
to stain adjacent white materials
and thus these dyes are more
popular for use by printing
applications, the different
printing methods are as under:
