Acetate is primarily used in dresses, blouses, and special occasion apparel in addition to home fashion materials. Acetate offers a luxurious look with a soft hand and exceptional drape characteristics. It is easily dyed with Orcocil™ disperse dyes or printed with OrcoSperse™ pigment dispersions.
Orcocil™ Disperse Dyes for Acetate
Orcocil™ dyes are a specially selected group of disperse dyes characterized as low-energy disperse type. These exhibit excellent leveling characteristics and build-up at low temperatures on acetate, nylon, and differential dyeing of nylon. These are also used as an alternative to acid dyes on nylon offering excellent leveling properties for barre coverage with limited wash fastness in high concentrations.
