Amerisoft Trifunctional Colors

Introduction :
Americos Trifunctional Colors are specially designed for garment industry to get cloudy effect on garment. This effect resembles the tie & dye effect but the approach is totally different. In this technology, garments are first dyed with tri-functional colors in garment dyeing m/c. Then the dyed garments are tied with thread at different parts according to the design to be formed on garment. Then it is treated with Americos Deni XL solution (discharger) and subsequently with Americos Deni OX (neutralizer). Thus, this method opens unlimited doors for developing creative designs on garments. Using this technology, garment processors can achieve cloudy effect of more than two colors from one trifunctional color. It saves labor, water and energy involved in traditional process of tie & dye.

The whole process is divided in to four steps:

Dyeing of garment with Americos Trifunctional Colors Tying the garment at different parts according to the design requirements Discharging of dyed garments with Americos Deni XL Neutralization of garment with Americos Deni OX Photochromic Colorants,Thermochromic Colorants,Photochromic Colorants Manufacturers,Thermochromic Colorants SuppliersDyeing of Garment with Americos Trifunctional Colors : First, dyeing of garment is carried out with Americos Trifunctional color in wash wheel. Take required amount of Americos Trifunctional Color (X g) and prepare the dye bath by dissolving the color in water. Introduce the garments in the dye bath and run the machine for 5 min. Then add 50 g/l of Glauber's salt and raise the temperature to 70 to 75°C while continuing the dyeing for 15 min. Then add 20 g/l of soda ash and continue the dyeing for another 30 min. One cold wash - Soaping (with neutral detergent to remove unfix colors) - One hot wash - drying of garments. Please note that generally 2 - 4% color (owf) gives good effect. 2. Tie the garment at different parts : After drying of the dyed garments, the garments should be tightly tied with treads at different location as per the required design/effect to be produced. 3. Discharging of Americos Trifunctional Colors with Americos Deni XL This is the critical and most important process. Put the garment in Americos Deni XL solution (50% w/w) or potassium permanganate (130 g/l) for few seconds (5 - 10 seconds) and take out garment from Americos Deni XL bath very fast and swiftly. 4. Neutralization of garment with Americos Deni OX Dip the garments, from the above process (after discharging), in Americos Deni OX solution (15 g/l) and keep the garments immersed for 5 - 10 min.
