Definition of dispersing agent
Dispersants are effective in dyeing
conditions, stable to hard water, high temperature, and other dye additives,
and help maintain the dispersion of dye molecules in the dye bath. Disperse
dyes are insoluble in water and form aqueous dispersions in water. At first,
these dye molecules form large particles, which are made into small particles
by grinding. However, since they are insoluble in water, uneven dyeing may
occur if they are used directly in the dye bath. Therefore, to ensure uniform
and trouble-free dyeing, the dyes should be present in a homogeneous and
wonderful form in the dye bath and should be stably dispersed. This is why
special chemicals called dispersants are used in the dye bath. They should be
effective and stable against hard water, high temperatures, and other dyeing
aids under dyeing conditions.
Examples are soap powder, Turkish red oil,
alkaline sulfates, alkyl aryl sulfonates, etc. All are surfactants. Dispersing
agents are recommended for disperse dyes.
Functions of dispersing agent
1. It helps to reduce the particle size of
the dye. 2.
2. This dye can be made into a powder.
3. It helps to turn the powder into a
dispersion for dyeing.
4. It is not a surfactant, so it does not
have wetting, foaming, and washing properties.
5. It can keep the dispersion in good shape
in the dye bath during the dyeing process.
6. It can increase the solubility of
disperse dyes in water.
7. It has compatibility with anionic and
nonionic products.
8、It affects the
speed of dyeing.
9、Alkali-resistant,
acid-resistant, salt-resistant
10, when mixed with cationic products in
neutral and acidic media, will produce precipitation.
