Introduction:
Most of the operations in the textile
processing such as scouring, bleaching,
dyeing and printing are carried out by use
of basic chemicals like acid, alkalis
oxidizing, reducing agents dyestuffs etc.
Besides this other chemical are also used in
relatively small quantity proportion to
increase the efficiency of above process.
These substances are called Textile
Auxiliaries.

What Does Auxiliary
Mean in
Textiles?

It is defined as a chemical or a formulated chemical product which

enables a processing operation. The various processing operations may
be in the functions of preparation, dyeing, printing or finishing.
Auxiliaries help by speeding up these processes or carry out the
processes in a more efficient manner. This is necessary to obtain the
desired effect.

Auxiliaries and its function

Sequestering
Agent

Used to remove hardness and metal ion present in dyeing

liquor. Hardness of dyeing liquor can occurred due to
hardness of fabric after pretreatment which is 35 ppm and
also from salt which is 70 ppm

pH Control and
buffer system

Many disperse dyes required controlled 4.5-5 and

practically all disperse dyes give good results in this pH
range and are much more sensitive to minor changes in
pH.
A buffered system is necessary for precise
control of pH.
