A New Pigment Pad Dyeing System for Cellulosics and its Blends
|
ZYCOPAD System contains ZYTROL-616, ZYTROL-500 and ZYCRON (PL) pigments, CATALYST-MX and VELVETROL which are used for Dyeing operations by Padding Process. The process sequence will be Pad-Dry-Pad-Dry to produce pigment dyed finished fabric. ZYCOPAD can give medium and dark solid shades on cellulosic fabric and is suitable for knitted as well as wovens. |
| Features | Benefits |
| No wet processing | Prevents Water Pollution |
| New Binder Technology | Soft feel |
| Solid Shades | Even Dyeing Results |
| No Thermomigration | Even Dyeing on both sides |
| Wet Rubbing Fastness | Superior compared to conventional Pigment Pad Process. |
| Better Wash Fastness | Superior Wash Fastness compared to Conventional Pad Dyeing Process |
| Good Light Fastness | No colour fading on exposure to light |
Preparation :
- Proper desizing/scouring/bleaching must be carried out to ensure complete removal of sizes/fats/waxes, etc. from the cellulosic material prior to dyeing.
- Now this ready for dyeing material can be subjected to ZYCOPAD System as per shade requirement.

| [B] | (1) | Prepare stock solution as follows: (X % is percentage of total pigment emulsion used) 1.5X – 2.0X % ZYTROL-500 0.1X % VELVETROL 0.1X % AMMONIUM CHLORIDE 0.1X % CATALYST-MX Balance Water ———— 100 %Weigh the water. Add ZYTROL-500 Binder, VELVETROL and Ammonium Chloride followed by CATALYST-MX. Mix thoroughly. |
| (2) | Use above solution directly for padding. The formulation should be adjusted based on wet pick-up. | |
| (3) | Pad the goods with this solution at typically 70-100% wet pick-up, followed by complete drying at 100oC – 150oC. | |
| [C] | Finish the goods if needed, to improve the feel. | |
- All ingredients are stable for 6 months if stored in a shade at room temperature in a closed container.
