Preparation, or pre-treatment, is the process used to make a textile substrate suitable for dyeing and printing. Our products are suitable for different substrates, machinery and forms that may be used. They provide effects such as: better absorbency, better whiteness index, removal of impurities, minimal hardness which then ensures level dyeing and minimal variation between batches along with instant results.

At this stage, the pre-treated fabric is dyed with different types of dyestuff depending on the substrate used and end performance requirements. We offer various dye bath additives which ensure trouble-free dyeing and best results in terms of yield, solidity, fabric appearance, fastness and batch to batch consistency.
In printing, pre-treated or dyed fabric is printed on different substrates with respective dye classes by various methods. We offer print paste additives to ensure optimum print clarity, brightness & yield.

In washing off, unfixed/ residual or hydrolysed dyestuffs is removed from the textile substrate in order to ensure best fastness results and minimum cross staining of the end product. A good washing off process ensures a good all round fastness, so it is necessary to use a suitable washing off agent as per the water conditions, dyes used, print design, substrate and machinery. We offer variety of high performance washing off agents.
In after-treatment – the dyestuff is fixed on the textile substrate to ensure that the best water fastness and minimum cross staining during washing or laundry processes. We have fixers to meet stringent fastness requirements of key buyers for specific shades on cellulosic such as turquoise, royals, ultra blacks, deep reds and maroon shades.
After treatment | Washing Off Agent | Removes the hydrolised dyes from the textile and improves the required fastness properties |
