Reactive H Brand Dyes (Monochlorotriazine)

Properties | Shade Card | Dyeing Procedur

Properties:

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 Procedure:

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.
 

 
X% Shade Salt Soda Ash
Below 0.5% 40 gm/l 10 gm/l
0.5 to 2.0% 60 gm/l 15 gm/l
2.0 to 4.0% 80 gm/l 20 gm/l
Above 4.0% 100 gm/l 20 gm/l
ii)

Exhaust dyeing method (Winch Machines) Viscose Rayon

The dye bath is set at 50oC with 20 parts/1000 parts 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.

0.5 to 1.5% 50 15
1.5 to 3.0% 60 20

iii) Pad-dyeing method

`H' dyes are applicable by this method by using padding mangle and suitable drying and steaming equipments as per requirement.
