Orcomol FAW

Orcomol FAW is a water -soluble polymeric dye-complexing agent. It is available as a slightly viscous liquid which is stable to hard water and to acid and alkali in concentrations usually encountered in the textile trade. Additions of Orcomol FAW in regular stripping procedures gives far better results than other methods. It is a very weakly cation-active material which forms very stable cation-anion complexes with dyestuffs containing sulfo groups as well as those which in aqueous solution containing a phenolate grouping, i.e. direct, vat or sulfur dyes. The bond of attraction between dyestuffs of these groups and Orcomol FAW is so strong that the latter may be considered in a sense a liquid fiber for which the dyestuff has greater affinity than for cotton and other fibers. In stripping operations, once the cellulose/dyestuff bond is broken, the dislodged dye is preferentially and tightly bound to the Orcomol FAW. Even after a prolonged stripping treatment, the Orcomol FAW/dye bond remains intact.

Orcopal FUL

Orcopal FUL is a wool fulling agent which is non-substantive to wool. Because of this, it is more economical than the usual anionic agents or soap. Orcopal FUL is readily soluble in, and functions effectively with soda ash solutions.

Orcopal TX

Orcopal TX is a fulling agent for wool and oil/lubricant release agent for natural and synthetic fibers. In view of it’s chemical nature, it can be used in either soft or hard water or in an acid or alkaline media and still maintain it’s effectiveness.
