Reactive dyeing is a popular method for coloring cotton fabrics due to its ability to produce bright, vibrant shades with good overall fastness properties. However, a persistent challenge in reactive dyeing is achieving optimal washing and soaking color fastness, particularly for certain sensitive shades. Residual unfixed dye, even after rinsing, can lead to color bleeding or staining during subsequent washes, diminishing the appeal and durability of the textile product. Traditional fixing agents have sometimes relied on chemistries that raise environmental or safety concerns, notably the presence of formaldehyde.

Addressing these critical needs, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is pleased to introduce our advanced Formaldehyde-Free Fixing Agent. This innovative product is a high polymer liquid specifically formulated to enhance the color fastness of cotton fabrics dyed with reactive dyes. It represents a significant step forward in textile auxiliary chemistry, offering superior performance without compromising environmental health or textile safety.

The effectiveness of our Formaldehyde-Free Fixing Agent stems from its unique composition and mechanism of action. Primarily composed of a special high polymer, this liquid agent carries a cationic charge. When applied to dyed fabric, the positively charged polymer molecules are strongly attracted to the negatively charged sulfonate groups inherent in reactive dye molecules. This electrostatic interaction leads to the formation of an insoluble complex, essentially creating a stable 'lake' that encapsulates the dye molecule within the fiber structure. By effectively 'sealing' the water-soluble portions of the dye, the agent dramatically reduces the dye's tendency to migrate or bleed during washing and soaking processes.

Key benefits of utilizing our Formaldehyde-Free Fixing Agent include a significant improvement in both washing and soaking color fastness. This is vital for textile products like apparel, home textiles, and towels that undergo frequent laundering. Users have observed particularly strong performance improvements on difficult-to-fix shades such as reactive bright red, vulcanized black, and reactive black. Beyond its technical performance, the agent's core advantage is its formaldehyde-free and heavy metal ion-free composition. This ensures compliance with increasingly stringent global environmental regulations and promotes a safer working environment within the dye house, contributing to the production of more sustainable textiles.

Typical properties of this fixing agent include its appearance as a yellowish-brown transparent liquid. It possesses cationic ionicity, which is crucial for its interaction with anionic reactive dyes. A 1% aqueous solution typically has a pH value of 5.5 ± 0.5, making it suitable for use in standard dyeing and finishing baths. It is readily soluble in water, facilitating easy preparation of application baths and ensuring uniform distribution on the fabric.

Application of the agent is straightforward and compatible with common textile finishing equipment. It can be effectively applied using padding or dipping processes. For padding applications, a reference dosage typically ranges from 10 to 50 grams per liter, with the exact amount depending on the depth of shade, fabric type, and desired fastness level. The recommended process involves applying the fixing bath to the dyed fabric, followed by standard drying and thermal setting, often carried out at temperatures around 170ºC to ensure complete fixation and optimal performance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides technical support and guidance to help customers optimize application parameters for their specific processes.

Proper handling and storage are essential for maintaining the quality and efficacy of the Formaldehyde-Free Fixing Agent. It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. To prevent potential surface drying or contamination, containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use, and prolonged exposure to air should be avoided. The product is available in convenient industry-standard packaging formats, including 120kg plastic drums and IBC tanks, with options for customized packaging available upon request to meet specific logistical or production needs.
