All in one Reactive Dyeing

In this method of dyeing, as the title 'All in one method' suggests, at ambient temperature, all the materials are added one after the other and processing starts only then.

Method of dyeing:

Make ready the dye bath with sharpening chemicals and auxiliaries.

Add the dyestuff in to the bath slowly over a period of time ( may 20 minutes).

After addition of dyestuff, add the required amount of salt in two portions or slowly ( 20 minutes).

The add Soda ash to the dye bath in 2 portions or over a period of 20 minutes.

Now raise the temperature slowly to the required level.

Take sample. If the shade is slightly lighter (10% ~15%).

Continue dyeing for 30 minutes, and check the shade. Even then if it is not matching to the standard, very small additions you can make. If the requirement of additional dyestuff is great then drain the bath. Make 2 hot washes followed 2 cold wash and neutralization. take out the batch from the machine. Take a sample from the batch and try over dyeing in the lab to find out the exact additional quantity of dyestuff. Set fresh water bath and do the procedures from 1 to 7.
