Cationising agents
A precationisation provides for the affinity of the dye to the fibre and maintains the dye at the
fabric surface, which is the basic condition for the desired “wash-out“ effect. These precationisation
agents are generally applied before dyeing with pigments or metal complex dyes. The challenges
which have to be fulfilled are bath exhaust, levelness, colour brilliance and fastness properties. A
cationic aftertreatment can enhance the fastness properties further.

Binder
Binders are applied after pigment-dyeing of precationised garments. Here the binder helps to
further improve the link between the pigment and the substrate. The fixation of the dyes on the
surface of the yarn by the binder help to improve dry and wet rubbing fastness, as well as the
stability of the dyeing in home laundry washing cycles.
DENIMCOL BINDER GF-C is a soft anionic polymer binder based on acrylate. Drying and fixation in
tumble dryer at 90 - 100°C. Particularly soft handle and improved bath exhaust.
The dyeing procedures enclose a selection of further chemical auxiliaries. These products are
included in the recipe to keep the results of the dyeing process consistent.
DENIMCOL LUB-BPA is a lubricant to improve the gliding of the garments to reduce creases and
friction. This effect helps to receive level dyeings. DENIMCOL CDS is an auxiliary to reduce the
foam inside the drum and accelerate the penetration of liquor into the fabric. DENIMCOL DIS-OL
is a dispersion agent with excellent dispersing properties to dyestuffs and pigments.

Dyeing with Pigment dyes
Besides the unique look of pigment dyed garments these pigments can also be used in special
effect applications with binders, in spray application or artisanal application methods.

Dyeing with BEMAPLEX / BEMACID
dyes
DENIMCOL FIX-OS is the best selection for cationising the substrate for a metal complex dyeing
finish. As the anionic metal complex and acid dyes don’t have natural affinity to cellulosic fibres,
the selection of an optimum precationiser is important as a bridge between the cellulosic fibre
and the dye. DENIMCOL FIX-OS binds the dyes effectively to the surface of the substrate, so that a
subsequent enzyme wash can create the strongest abrasion effects.

Fastnesses
The resulting fastness properties are strongly dependent on the material used and the process
employed, in particular the enzymatic washing. The indicated fastness properties should therefore
only be seen as guide values. All fastness properties should only be tested and evaluated at the
end of all process stages.
