    Application

    General
    When dyeing polyamide, it is important to add a levelling agent to the dye bath.
    As well as having good levelling action, Sera Gal N-LP improves the
    combination behaviour of the dyes. It can therefore be used in the Polyamide S
    Process.
    Sera Gal N-LP retards the exhaustion of dyes onto polyamide. It therefore
    ensures level uptake of the dyes throughout the dyeing process.
    When applying 1:2 metal-complex dyes, it is also advisable to add:
    0.5 g/l Sera Sperse M-IS
    Main application field
    Sera Gal N-LP is a nonionic /cationic levelling agent with dye affinity. The main
    application fields are:
    - exhaust dyeing
    - jet dyeing
    - all process with high turbulences which can create foam
    Amounts required
    The amount of Sera Gal N-LP required depends on the used dyes, depth of
    shade, fibre material as well as liquor ratio. As a guideline 0.5 - 4% Sera Gal
    N-LP is normally added.
    Using Polyamide S Process (info - Polyamide pattern card) the addition of Sera
    Gal N-LP necessary to ensure optimum combinability of dyes can be calculated
    with the Optidye N computer program. The program calculates the required pH,
    optimum concentration of auxiliaries, heating-up rate and minimum dyeing
    time for given machine settings and substrates.
    If the product is only used as a levelling agent, the amount required for pale
    shades should be increased and the amount used for dark shades should be
    reduced. Depending on fibre material the exhaustion can be reduced.
    Dyeing method
    Dye bath 20 - 30 °C
    x% Sera Gal N-LP
    pH 8 - 4.5 (buffer) depending on fibre data and depth of shade
    pre run for 10 min
    add y% dye
    heat to final dyeing temperature
    dye for 10 - 60 min
    cool and rinse
    Correcting faulty dyeings
    If dyeings are unlevel or too dark, they can be brightened and corrected by
    treatment with a mixture of Sera Gal N-LP and ammonia or soda ash solution.
    Complete stripping is rarely necessary.

    Amounts required
    To correct dyeings that are unlevel or too dark, treat at 98 °C with
    2 - 4% Sera Gal N-LP
    x ml/l ammonia or soda ash solution (approx. pH 10)
    The dye can be exhausted back onto the fibre by slowly adding acetic acid to the
    alkaline bath after treatment.
