PERFACOLOR PM

Application

The following application levels should be sufficient. Care should be taken not to use too much product as yield could be adversely affected.

Dyeing:

When utilizing highly efficient equipment such as packaged dyeing machinery, the application levels may be reduced by up to 30%. When making additions it is advisable to pre-mix the dyestuff with the Perfacolor PM at the correct temperature, which can be from 750C-1000C, depending on the machine and the dyestuffs in use.

To aid penetration it may be necessary to add a wetting agent, such as Perfascour GDE, prior to adding acetic acid and Perfacolor PM.

Repairing unlevel dyeing:

The application of 2-3% Perfacolor PM should give a good strip, but if this is not sufficient, the addition of 2% ammonia will ensure a complete strip.

In grossly unlevel dyeings, more than one treatment with Perfacolor PM and ammonia may be necessary before re-dyeing.

When using Perfacolor PM as a stripping agent, the bath should be dropped whilst still alkaline, and the material rinsed and neutralized before re-dyeing.

Benefits

• Levelling: When applied to pre-metallised dyestuffs on wool and polyamide, Perfacolor PM will restrain dye take-up thus encouraging level dyeing.
• Migration: Strong migrating and penetrating powers will ensure even, well-penetrated dyeings.
• Versatility: May also be used with acid milling dyes on wool and polyamide.
• Correction: Can be utilized for correction and stripping of faulty dyeings.
• Wash Off Will effectively wash off acid-printed polyamide fabrics.
