Alkali-Resistant Penetrant

Alkali-Resistant Penetrant

High-Stability Surfactant Complex for Fabric Pretreatment

Alkali-resistant penetrant is a special surfactant complex with excellent solubility and compatibility with cationic, anionic, and amphoteric auxiliaries and dyes. It is highly resistant to acid, alkali, hard water, and electrolytes, making it suitable for demanding textile processing conditions.

Rapid Spreading & Penetration – Quickly spreads on fabric surfaces and penetrates into fibers, enhancing capillary effect and whiteness.

Multi-Functional Performance – Strong penetration combined with emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties.

Outstanding Alkali Resistance – Maintains high permeability and stability even under 120 g/L caustic soda and pH 14, without delamination or deactivation.

SolubilityEasily soluble in water
pH Value (1% aqueous solution)
6 – 7

Suitable for pretreatment of cotton, synthetic fibers, and blended fabrics, making it ideal for subsequent dyeing and printing processes.

Product Name​Basic Properties​Product Features​Application Process​Scope of Application​
Alkali-Resistant Scouring Penetrant MX-376Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid
Ionization: Anionic
pH (1% aqueous solution): 6.0–8.0
Alkali Resistance: ≥150 g/L NaOH (no stratification/oiling/deactivation)

 

1. Ultra-high alkali resistance: Stable in concentrated alkali solutions (no precipitation/oiling/failure)
2. Ultra-fast penetration: Rapid fabric wetting and reduced surface tension for uniform scouring
3. Synergistic cleaning: Excellent compatibility with scouring agents, alkali, and oxygen bleaches to enhance impurity removal efficiency
4. Low-foaming stability: Suitable for overflow machines, airflow systems, roller presses, and flat-bed processes

 

Continuous open-width pad-steam process: 5.0–12.0 g/L
High-temperature scouring (overflow/airflow cylinder): 2.0–4.0 g/L
Processing parameters: 95–100°C × 30–60 min

 

Cotton, linen, ramie, polyester-cotton blends, viscose, Tencel, modal, and other cellulosic fibers for high-alkali scouring, continuous pad-steam bleaching, and cold pad-batch one-bath processes.
Cold-Pad-Batch Scouring Penetrant MX-377Appearance: Pale yellow transparent liquid
Ionization: Anionic
pH (1% aqueous solution): 6.0–8.0
Alkali Resistance: ≥120 g/L NaOH (stable, non-stratifying)

 

1. High-efficiency integration: Combines ultra-strong penetration with efficient scouring to simplify formulations
2. Ultra-high alkali resistance: Maintains activity in concentrated caustic soda environments
3. Optimized cold-pad batch performance: Ensures uniform alkali/peroxide adsorption at room temperature for high whiteness and capillary effect
4. Anti-redeposition: Strong emulsification prevents secondary contamination and ensures clean fabric surfaces

 

Cold pad-batch bleaching/scouring:
– Penetrant: 3.0–8.0 g/L
– Oxygen stabilizer: 4.0–8.0 g/L
– Chelating agent: 1.0–3.0 g/L
– Caustic soda (100%): 20–45 g/L
– Hydrogen peroxide (27.5%): 30–60 g/L
– Pick-up rate: 70%–85%
– Dwell time: 16–24 hours at room temperature

 

Cotton, polyester-cotton blends, linen, viscose, Tencel, modal, and other cellulosic fibers for cold pad-batch desizing, scouring, and bleaching. Also suitable for concentrated alkali padding and cold pad-dyeing pretreatment.
High-Concentration Alkali-Resistant Mercerizing Penetrant MX-371Appearance: Pale yellow transparent liquid
Ionization: Anionic
pH (1% aqueous solution): 6.0–8.0
Alkali Resistance: ≥280 g/L NaOH (stable, non-stratifying)

 

1. Ultra-high alkali resistance: Stable in concentrated caustic soda solutions (no oiling/precipitation/deactivation)
2. Rapid penetration: Drastically reduces surface tension for uniform alkali absorption
3. Enhanced mercerizing quality: Uniform luster, high whiteness, and improved dye uptake
4. Low-foaming: Non-foaming formula compatible with rollers, washers, and alkali recovery systems
5. Eco-compliance: Phosphate-free and APEO-free

 

Continuous open-width mercerizing: 3.0–8.0 g/L (based on alkali volume)
Concentrated alkali treatment: 2.0–5.0 g/L
Processing parameters: Caustic concentration 180–280 g/L

 

Cotton, polyester-cotton blends, linen, viscose, Tencel, modal, and other cellulosic fibers for mercerizing, alkali-oxygen one-bath processes, and concentrated alkali treatments.
