The textile industry relies heavily on reactive dyes to achieve vibrant and durable colors on various fibers. A critical step in the reactive dyeing process is fixation, which requires an alkali to promote the chemical reaction between the dye molecules and the fiber. Traditionally, chemicals like soda ash (sodium carbonate), caustic alkali (sodium hydroxide), and trisodium phosphate have been used for this purpose. While effective, these traditional alkalis can present challenges, including the need for relatively high dosages, potential difficulties in controlling pH fluctuations during dyeing, and increased effluent load.

Addressing these industry needs, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to introduce an innovative solution: the Soda Substitute Fixing Base Powder (Model CY-518). This advanced product is specifically engineered to serve as a highly efficient and effective alternative to conventional alkaline fixatives used in reactive dyeing processes. It is designed to streamline operations, improve dyeing quality, and offer significant economic and environmental advantages.

One of the most compelling benefits of the Soda Substitute Fixing Base Powder is its remarkable efficiency in terms of usage amount. Compared to standard soda ash, this product requires only 1/8 to 1/10 of the dosage to achieve the desired fixation effect. This reduced consumption translates directly into substantial cost savings for textile manufacturers by lowering raw material expenditure. Furthermore, using less chemical means reduced logistics costs, less storage space required, and less material handled on the production floor.

Beyond just quantity, the quality of fixation is paramount. Reactive dyes are highly sensitive to the pH environment of the dye bath. Maintaining a stable and optimal pH is crucial for ensuring uniform dye uptake and reaction, thereby preventing issues such as uneven dyeing, tailing, and shade variation. The Soda Substitute Fixing Base Powder utilizes a sophisticated complex of buffer active components. This synergistic formulation provides superior buffering capacity, offering much stronger control over the dye bath pH compared to single alkali sources or simple mixtures. This robust pH stability ensures consistent dyeing results, batch after batch, which is particularly beneficial when working with shades known to be challenging, such as emerald blue, grass green, and bean paste, helping to minimize staining and off-shade production.

Operational efficiency is another area where this innovative product excels. The fixing bath prepared with this soda substitute exhibits low viscosity. High bath viscosity, often associated with traditional alkali solutions, can lead to problems like sticky residues and uneven distribution of the alkali, contributing to staining issues. The low viscosity of baths prepared with Soda Substitute Fixing Base Powder helps to avoid these problems, facilitating smoother processing. Its versatility allows it to be used effectively in various types of dyeing equipment, and it is particularly well-suited for processes requiring low liquor ratios, such as cheese yarn dyeing, where bath volume and concentration control are critical.

Post-dyeing cleanup is also simplified. Residual alkali from the fixation step must be thoroughly washed off the fabric. The Soda Substitute Fixing Base Powder is designed for easy removal during washing. Its easy wash-off properties can significantly reduce the number of washing steps required, potentially saving two washing cycles compared to traditional methods. This reduction in washing not only saves valuable production time but also lowers water and energy consumption, contributing to more sustainable textile processing.

The technical specifications of the Soda Substitute Fixing Base Powder include its appearance as a white powder, its solubility in water, and a highly alkaline pH range of 11.5-12.5 for a 0.2% aqueous solution. Recommended usage levels vary depending on the color depth, typically ranging from 0.5-1 g/L for light colors, 1.5-2 g/L for medium colors, and 2-3 g/L for dark colors. It is important to dissolve the powder into a solution before addition to the dye bath, adding it gradually in two to three stages for optimal results. Due to its highly alkaline nature, appropriate safety precautions must be observed during handling, including avoiding direct contact with skin and eyes, and prompt rinsing with plenty of water if contact occurs. The product should be stored in a sealed container away from moisture and light, with a recommended shelf life of 12 months at room temperature.
