Optical Brightening Agents

EUROWHITE

Optical brighteners for cellulose, polyester, polyester/cellulose blends and polyamide/nylon. Choose the substrate, then the route and target tone.

Fibre / application
Cotton · Polyester · Polyester/cotton · Polyamide/nylon
Process routes
Exhaust · continuous · padding, according to product and substrate

Range Selection

EUROWHITE-CEL
Cellulose: high-affinity exhaust grades and medium-affinity grades for exhaust, continuous and padding routes.

EUROWHITE-TC
Polyester/cellulose blends: single-bath brightening.
EUROWHITE-NY
Polyamide/nylon brighteners, including neutral and violet-tone options.
Application Considerations
  • Selection begins with substrate, application route and tone; physical form and water conditions also matter.
  • Dose, whiteness and tint figures describe the stated test material and conditions; verify the result on your own fabric and target white.

Cationic Dyes

EUROCRYL

Cationic dyes for acrylic, modacrylic, their blends and cationic-dyeable polyester, with two distinct ranges for fibre-specific selection.

Fibre / application
Acrylic · Modacrylic · Cationic-dyeable polyester (CDP) · Selected blends
Process routes
Exhaust dyeing · Blend routes subject to pre-trials

Range Selection

EUROCRYL DX
Cationic dyes for acrylic, modacrylic and their blends. Select shades around compatibility, depth and the required fastness.
EUROCRYL DX-F
Dispersing-type cationic dyes for cationic-dyeable polyester (CDP), including blends with normal polyester for two-tone effects. Confirm the application by trials.
Application Considerations
  • For DX recipes, compatibility (K) and saturation (F) values are part of shade selection. Fastness is shade- and substrate-specific.
  • Acrylic and CDP use different dyeing profiles. Temperature, dosing and hold times should be set around the material and machine.
  • Mixed anionic and cationic dye baths require compatibility control. One-bath or sequential blend routes should be confirmed by trials.
  • Detailed shade tables, dyeing profiles and test conditions remain in the technical brochure.
