Dry and Wet Rubbing Fastness Improving Agent

Dry and Wet Rubbing Fastness Improving Agent

Advanced Fixing Solution to Enhance Rubbing Fastness by 1–2 Levels Without Affecting Fabric Feel or Color

Dry & Wet Rubbing Fastness Improving Agent is a high-molecular-weight compound developed using advanced technology. With weakly cationic properties and free from restricted substances, it ensures excellent penetration and adsorption onto fibers. Upon drying, it forms a stable color lake with the dyes inside the fibers, significantly enhancing dye adhesion.This agent offers a soft handfeel, minimal color shift, and can effectively boost both wet and dry rubbing fastness by 1–2 grades, making it ideal for improving the durability and appearance of dyed textiles.

1. Outstanding Fastness Enhancement

Boosts wet and dry rubbing fastness by 1–2 levels, especially effective on black, twill, and needle-punched nylon fabrics

Forms strong bonds between dyes and fibers, reducing dye migration and improving durability

 

2. Broad Compatibility with Fabrics and Dyes

Ideal for post-dyeing soaping of polyester-cotton blends and mixed fiber fabrics

Compatible with a variety of dyes, including reactive, sulfur, and VAT dyes

Enhances colorfastness without altering fabric appearance or softness

 

3. Environmentally Compliant and Safe

Free from copper ions and restricted substances

Formulated with weakly cationic high-molecular-weight compounds for better adsorption and fixation

Complies with international environmental safety standards

AppearanceLight yellow transparent viscous liquid
