The purpose of auxiliaries is to facilitate a textile process and/or increase its efficiency.

They serve as sizing materials, lubricants, wetting agents, emulsifiers, agents accelerating or decelerating the dyeing rate, thickeners, binders, etc. often with considerable overlap in the functions and abilities of a specific chemical. Compounds used encompass many different chemical classes, some of which are affected by enzymes and thus can be regarded as substrates, and some of which remain unaffected. Owing to environment and economical concerns, auxiliaries are used as sparingly as possible. Once the respective process is terminated they are to be removed completely from the treated material; however, traces could still be present and interfere negatively with subsequent processing steps

HERE ARE SOME OF THE AUXILIARIES USED IN TEXTILE

Organic Defoamers
Organic defoamers is a silicone based proprietory product used extensively in a variety of industrial batch processing applications.In case of textile it acts as an effective antifoam during jet dyeing and for production of predefoamed surfactants for textiles and other applications. Organic defoamer which effectively kills and suppresses foam formation in a wide variety of textile processes. Organic defoamer has a high flash point and functions well in variety of application.

Hydrophilic Softeners
We specialize in providing a spectrum of hydrophilic softeners, which is a textile treatment composition that contains siloxanes. These siloxanes have epoxy and glycol- functionalities as well as an aminosilane or a silicone quaternary ammonium compound. Formulated as an aqueous emulsion, our hydrophilic softeners impart durable hydrophilicity to textiles, such as cotton fabric and others.
1. Quaternary ammonium cations, also known as quats, are positively charged polyatomic ions of + the structure NR4 , R being an alkyl group or an arylgroup.

Quaternary ammonium salts are used as fabric softeners, and as antistatic agents (e.g. in shampoos). In liquid fabric softeners, the chloride salts are often used. In dryeranticling strips, the sulfate salts are often used. 2. Triethylamine is the chemical compound with the formula N(CH2CH3)3 Triethylamine is mainly used in the production of quaternary ammonium compounds for textile auxiliaries and quaternary ammonium salts of dyes

3. Tannic acid is a specific commercial form of tannin, a type of polyphenol. Its weak acidity (pKa around 6) is due to the numerous phenol groups in the structure. The chemical formula for commercial tannic acid is often given as C76H52O46, Tannic acid is a common mordant used in the dyeing process for cellulose fibers such as cotton, often combined with alum and/or iron..

A mordant is a substance used to set dyes on fabrics or tissue sections by forming a coordination complex with the dye which then attaches to the fabric or tissue.
[1]

It may be used

for dyeing fabrics, or for intensifying stains in cell or tissue preparations. In the past, it was thought that a mordant helped the dye bite onto the fiber so that it would hold fast during washing. Mordants include tannic acid, alum, urine, chrome alum, sodium chloride, and certain salts of aluminium, chromium, copper, iron, iodine, potassium, sodium, and tin.

An acid dye is a dye, in chemical regard a sodium (less oftenammonium) salt of a sulfonic, carboxylic or phenol organic acid. Acid dye is soluble in water and possesses affinity for amphoteric fibers while lacking direct dyes' affinity for cellulose fibers. When dyeing, ionic bonding with fiber cationic sites accounts for fixation of colored anions in the dyed material. Acids are added to dyeing baths to increase the number of protonated amino-groups in fibers. In the laboratory, the home or art studio, the acid used in the dyebath is often vinegar (acetic acid) or citric acid. The uptake rate of the dye is controlled with the use of sodium chloride. In textiles, acid dyes are effective on protein fibers, i.e. animal hair fibers like wool, alpaca andmohair. They are also effective on silk. They are effective in dyeing the synthetic fiber nylon but of minimal interest in dyeing any othersynthetic fibers. Acid dyes fall into several classes:
4.

Leveling acid or strong acid dye, Milling or weak acid dyes, and Super milling or fast acid or neutral acid dyes.

5.

Azo dyes: The structure of azo dyes is based on azobenzene, Ph-N=N-Ph (see right showing cis/ trans isomers) Although Azo dyes are a separate class of

dyestuff mainly used in the dyeing of cotton (cellulose) fibers, many acid dyes have a similar structure, and most are red in color.
6.

Is a colourless, anionic liquid ,miscible with water in any proportion.

AQUA SOFT VH has excellent dispersing and sequestering action which is beneficial in washing/soaping as well as in dyeing processes. It does not impair the shade of dyed goods or adversely affect their fastness properties. Applications Exhaust Method AQUA SOFT VH, due to its dispersing and complexing properties improves the depth of colour, levelness and fastness of the dyeing viz. vat, Naphthol/Base, Direct, Reactives. Recommended quantity 1-3 gms/liter Padding Method AQUA SOFT VH due to its dispersing and sequestering properties is very useful during padding operation particularly when water used is very hard. It improves the brightness as well as colour yield and keeps the rolls clean during silicate padding. Recommended quantity 1-2 gms/liter 7. AUXI IN UDI
Properties Salient Feature Kills +B2 metal, ions like fe etc Phosphate-free, polymer based sequestering agent with dispersing properties Application - Dyeing AUXI IN UDI can be applied both in the exhaust bath as well as in padding processes. In the exhaust dyeing of reactives and vats prior addition of 1-2% of AUXI IN UDI in the dyebath prevents Ca and Mg ions interfering with the dyeing process, particularly when using hard water. In the dyeing of reactives by cold pad-batch process the addition of 2-3 gm/I AUXI IN UDI

in the padding solution gives dyeing with good levelness and solidity for the same reason. Addition of 2 gm/I AUXI IN UDI during the washing of reactive dyeing helps in the rapid removal of unfixed dye. This leads to improved rub fastness of the dyeings. Additionally, during washing-off of cold pad-batch dyeings the addition of 2 gm/I of AUXI IN UDI in the washing bath helps in the quick removal of sodium silicate from the fabric.

8. Properties Salient Feature

Kills metal ions like fe etc Phosphate-free, polymer based sequestering agent with dispersing properties

Application - Dyeing AUXI IN DE SAN can be applied both in the exhaust bath as well as in padding processes. In the exhaust dyeing of reactives and vats prior addition of 1-2% of AUXI IN DE SAN in the dyebath prevents Ca and Mg ions interfering with the dyeing process, particularly when using hard water. In the dyeing of reactives by cold pad-batch process the addition of 2-3 gm/I AUXI IN DE SAN in the padding solution gives dyeing with good levelness and solidity for the same reason. Addition of 2 gm/I AUXI IN DE SAN during the washing of reactive dyeing helps in the rapid removal of unfixed dye. This leads to improved rub fastness of the dyeings. Additionally, during washing-off of cold pad-batch dyeings the addition of 2 gm/I of AUXI IN DE SAN in the washing bath help in the quick removal of sodium silicate from the fabric. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waterproof Chemicals
RUBSOL silicone waterproof chemicals are ready to use that is based on silane/siloxane. dilute solution serve as high-quality general-purpose water repellents for impregnating and ptiming mineral and highly alkaline substrates. Features:

Good penetration capacity High alkaline resistance Track-free drying Effective even on damp substrates Water repellency develops fast

After application, waterproof chemicals reacts with the atmospheric moisture or pore water in substrate, therby generating the active ingredient and liberating alcohol. The active ingredient greatly lowers the water absorbency of the substrate. Since neither pores nor capillaries are clogged, the substrate retains a very high degree of water vapour permeability.
