Sulfur-Indigo Fixing Agent for Enhanced Color Fastness

Sulfur-Indigo Fixing Agent is a specialized post-treatment additive developed to enhance the color fastness of sulfur-indigo dyes on cellulose fibers such as cotton, viscose, linen, and their blended fabrics. It effectively resolves common issues like poor wash fastness and easy fading that occur after sulfur-indigo dyeing.Formulated to meet strict environmental standards—free of formaldehyde and low in VOCs—this fixing agent is widely applied in the finishing of denim, workwear, and home textiles where high color durability is essential.

1. Exceptional Color Fixation

Uses cationic high-molecular-weight crosslinking to form dual ionic and covalent bonds with sulfur-indigo dyes

Greatly improves wash fastness, rubbing fastness, and perspiration fastness

Effectively prevents color loss due to washing, abrasion, or friction

 

2. Eco-Friendly & Safe

Free from formaldehyde, benzene, and other hazardous substances

Compliant with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, REACH, and other international eco-standards

Low VOCs, ensuring a safer working environment and end-user safety

 

3. Strong Compatibility

Compatible with sulfur-indigo dyes, penetrants, softeners, and other auxiliaries

Can be directly added to fixation baths without impacting fabric hand feel, softness, or appearance

 

4. Superior Process Adaptability

Suitable for pad-dry-cure, immersion, and other common fixation processes

Minimal effect on fabric whiteness and tone, preserving the deep, vivid blue of sulfur-indigo

AppearanceColorless to pale yellow transparent liquid (slight turbidity over time does not affect performance)
pH Value6.5-8.5 (neutral to weakly alkaline, resistant to acid/alkali fluctuations).
IonicityCationic
SolubilityEasily soluble in water
