Sylic Textile Auxiliaries FAQ

A Hydrogen peroxide is unstable, decomposing readily to oxygen and water with release of heat. Although nonflammable, it is a powerful oxidizing agent that can cause spontaneous combustion when it comes in contact with organic material.

A To ensure it lasts as long as possible, store hydrogen peroxide in a cool, dark place. Don't open it until you need to use it, and when you do open it, keep it in the original brown bottle. The bottle is designed to prevent light from making it decompose faster

A Stabilizer for hydrogen peroxide bleaching achieves uniform bleaching by suppressing rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, plays an important role to obtain high quality bleached products.

A Sequestrants are used to bind ions and prevent their interferences in other reactions. Examples of sequestrants are ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (edta), sodium metaphosphate (calgon®), gluconic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid.

A What does sequestering agent mean? In chemistry, a sequestering agent is an organic compound capable of linking metal ions or molecules together to form complex ring-like structures known as chelates. Although similar, a sequestering agent is different than a chelating agent.

A A sequestrant is a food additive which improves the quality and stability of foods. A sequestrant forms chelate complexes with polyvalent metal ions, especially copper, iron and nickel, which can prevent the oxidation of the fats in the food. Sequestrants are a type of preservative.

A Sequestering agent or chelating agent remove a metal ion from a solution system by forming a complex ion that does not have the chemical reactions of the ion that is removed. Sequestering agents are used to eliminate water hardness and heavy metals, such as iron and copper which can affect the scouring process.

A Another important auxiliary used in dyeing are wetting agents. Wetting agents are basically surfactants that lower the surface tension of a liquid, allowing easier spreading, and lower the interfacial tension between two liquids.

A Wetting agents consist of molecules that are attracted to water on one side and to waxes on the other. Wetting agents and washing detergents work the same way. The addition of ordinary washing detergent can improve the penetration of water in soil, but the effect does not last very long.

A Wetting agents are surface-active substances and improve the wetting of solids. Dispersing agents prevent particles flocculating by various mechanisms (electrostatic effects, steric effects). Wetting and dispersing additives unite both mechanisms of action in one product, i.E. They are both wetting and stabilizing.
