Reactive dyes
In a reactive dye a chromophore contains a substituent that reacts with the substrate. Reactive dyes have good fastness properties owing to the bonding that occurs during dyeing. They are the most important method for the coloration of cellulosic fibres.
| Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Adifix ® VS | Based on Vinyl Sulfone system. Applicable for exhaustion dyeing, continuous dyeing, and printing. |
| Adifix ® VS Supra | Based on Sulfatoethylsulfone and monochlorotriazine system which also called bifunctional dyes. Suitable for exhaustion dyeing while applicable for continuous dyeing and printing on selected items. |
| Adicion ® P | Based on monochlorotriazine system, mainly applicable for printing. |
| Adicion ® HE | Based on Bis-monochlorotriazine system suitable for exhaustion dyeing with temperature 80 - 85 oC. |
| Adicion ® MX | Applicable for both dyeing and printing. They are high reactivity which require mild alkali conditions and low temperature about 30-40 oC for fixation. |
| Adifix ® HD | Low affinity and high fixation rate, hence provide high washing fastness for medium to dark shade. |
Direct dyes
Adirect ® is a class of dyestuffs that are applied directly to the substrate in a neutral or alkaline bath at or near boiling point. They give bright shades but exhibit poor washfastness. Various aftertreatments are used to improve the washfastness of direct dyes, The dyeing process with direct dyes is very simple, Adirect ® do not contain carcinogenic amines.
Disperse dyes
Adinix ® are disperse dyes suitable for polyester fabrics and their blends. They are characterized with high degree of dispersion and suitable for dyeing/printing of polyester in various forms.
Vat dyes
Adithrene ® are vat dyes in micro disperse form (MD) which possess outstanding all-round fastness properties suitable for cellulose fabrics and applicable for exhaustion dyeing, continuous dyeing, and printing.
Pigment emulsions
Aditex ® and Adiron ® are hydrophilic concentrated pigment emulsions which are processed to finely dispersed and easily compatible with aqueous media. It DOES NOT contain either Formaldehyde and Alkylphenol Ethoxylate (Nonyl Phenol).
| Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Aditex ® | Concentrated pigment emulsions with moderate fastness properties and suitable for hand and machine printing. |
| Adiron ® | Highly concentrated pigment emulsions with excellent fastness properties such as light, heat, and bleeding. The pasters are specially processed with advance machine to obtain high purity and most brilliant shades possible. |
Optical brighter
Adiwhite ® are chemical compounds that absorb light in the ultraviolet and violet region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and re-emit light in the blue region by fluorescence. They are often used to enhance the appearance of color of fabric and paper, causing a "whitening" effect; and available in both liquid and powder form.
Paper
Liquid direct dyes
Akasol® FA series is a range of liquid anionic direct dyes. They are mainly sodium salt of azo dye. Hence their high substantivity make them suitable for use in papermaking industry including acid sized, neutral/alkaline sized and unsized grades.
Akasol® FA series have good backwater rating and good all-round fastness properties. It is widely applicable to all paper grades such as printing & writing, packaging, tissue, and speciality grades.
For shading white, Akasol® Brill. Violet 5BFA Liq is highly recommended.
Liquid optical brighteners
Akaphor® P series is a range of optical brightening agent especially for paper industry. They are derivatives of diaminostilbene di-sulphonic acid. The number (2,4, and 6) of sulphonic acid groups is used to classify these products since their properties and applications of different classes exhibit distinct difference. Akaphor® P series enable the papermaker to achieve high whiteness and brightness level on all type of bleached pulps.
