Egaltex

Textile auxiliaries for optimal dye equalization and dye dispersion. Available in different chemical natures and concentrations.

The quality of a dye is measured by its uniformity. This is why Gammacolor has developed Egaltex, a line of specific textile auxiliaries for the equalization of dyes and the optimal dispersion of dyes in the dye bath.

Available in different chemical natures and concentrations, Egaltex products work by regulating the absorption rate of dyes, reducing shade differences between fibers, yarns or pieces and ensuring a homogeneous, stable and stain-free color result.

Ideal for:

  • Reactive, disperse, acidic and direct dyes

  • Treatments on natural, synthetic and blended fibers

  • Continuous or discontinuous processes (jet, jigger, autoclave)

Egaltex A

Leveling, discharging in alkaline environment, reducing dyes and prints, also excellent equalizer in dyeing with direct dyes. Egaltex A does not foam and, because of its affinity for dyes, binds them to itself, preventing them from mounting on the fiber. Its presence shifts the balance of the baths in the "dye in the bath" sense, making it ideal for discharge baths.

Egaltex A Conc

Leveling, discharging in alkaline environment - reducing dyes and prints, also excellent equalizer in dyes with Direct dyes.

Egaltex HT/S

Equalizing-dispersing agent in dyeing polyester fibers under pressure with dispersed dyes.

Egaltex KA

Retardant, leveling in dyeing, with acid dyes, of wool/polyamide fiber blends, completely soluble in water. Stability to hard water excellent up to 20°dH. Stability to electrolytes excellent to both sodium sulfate and sodium chloride (max. 30 g/l). Stability to pH changes excellent from pH 2 to pH 12.

Egaltex O

Egaltex O is a product with dispersing, emulsifying and equalizing properties.

Egaltex OR

Retardant equalizer in dyeing with vat and direct dyes. Suitable in printing for half-dye effects under printing with vat dyes and in discharge treatments. Chemical characteristics: basic oligomer condensation product. Appearance: amber-colored liquid, slightly viscous. Ionic charge: nonionogenic pH sol. 1:10: sup. to 8. Solubility: dilutable in any proportion in cold purified water.

Egaltex P

Retardant equalizer in dyeing with vat and direct dyes. Suitable in printing for half-dye effects under printing with vat dyes and in discharge treatments. Basic oligomer condensation product, amber-colored liquid appearance, low viscosity. Solubility is dilutable in any proportion in cold purified water. Compatibility: is compatible with surfactants of any ionic charge. Stability: resists acids, alkalis and electrolytes at the usual doses of use, in the textile field.

Egaltex PA

Egaltex PA is used in the dyeing of polyamide and wool to promote gradual dye exhaustion, resulting in uniform dyeing.

Egaltex PAN

Retarder for dyeing acrylic fibers with cationic dyes.

Egaltex PK

Egaltex PK is used in dyeing PA and blends to promote gradual dye depletion by saturation of the fiber, thus achieving uniform dyeing, and allowing good tone-on-tone for blends.

Egaltex PON

Egaltex PON is an equalizing agent for dyeing with direct and vat dyes. It possesses excellent equalizing power and high leveling power, especially for those dyes that have poor migratory power. Important characteristic of the product is related to the speed of dye exhaustion, which is not diminished by it. Because of its chemical composition, perfectly penetrating dyes can be obtained even with densely beaten fabrics or highly twisted yarns.

Egaltex Plus

Egaltex Plus exerts dispersing, colloid protecting and disintegrating action, solubilizing the dye in its affinity state for the fiber, and leveling in the dyeing of cellulosic fibers with direct, reactive, vat and sulfur dyes. Egaltex Plus also acts in the early stages of dyeing as a preparator; in fact, it shows the dye how to get on the fiber, directing it in the right way so that it is distributed as evenly as possible, even in the irregularities of the goods and windings.

Egaltex TP

Egaltex TP is used in the dyeing of polyamide and wool to promote gradual dye exhaustion, resulting in uniform dyeing; its action occurs at both the dye and fiber levels.
