CHEMANTRENE FOR DYEING
Achitex Minerva has a range of dyestuffs, in liquid and powder form, nominated CHEMANTRENE, suitable for dyeing cellulosic fibres.
They are high fastness water-insoluble dyes which by alkaline reduction (caustic soda - sodium hydrosulfite) become soluble fiber derivatives, getting back to the insoluble form after the oxidation phase.
ADVANTAGES

• High color rendering
• Very stable dispersion
• High degree of filtration
• High light fastness
• High resistance to washing
• Resistance to post bleaching baths
Chemantrene dyes (vat) in powder, suitable for dyeing cellulosic fibers. They are characterized by their high solidity.
