Textile Dyeing Salt

In the textile industry, industrial salt as a dye-enhancer for textiles is used during the manufacture, processing and refining of fabrics and materials, such as for example, dying cotton or the printing of materials. Industrial salt as a dye-enhancer for fabrics ensures that the colorfully penetrates the fabric and is better bound and looks after the corresponding dyeing process.
Keeping in mind that Pakistan enjoys a prominent position in cotton production, Alcoa International provides its customers with the high quality, credible dyeing salt with the main emphasis on maintaining the low hardness in salt and restoring the fabric color.

Alcoa International has specialized in the field of textile since Pakistan is a prime producer of cotton. We have been serving the textile sector for over a long time.

During the process of dyeing, the salt is used in the exhaustion of the dye into the fabric. Salt plays an important role there since it acts as the ionic force that transfers the dye onto the fabric. Poor quality salt gives uneven color exhaustion which looks bad on the fabric. The hardness the salt is causing with its addition into the dye bath is given much importance. Therefore, the main emphasis is on maintaining the low hardness of salt. The grades of dyeing salt start from a hardness of 180 ppm (50 g/l) and go right down to zero hardness (any g/l) and in between there are 7 other different qualities.

The hardness alone is not the only factor that impacts dyeing. The impurities also affect the quality of the dyed fabric or yarn. Since we have expertise in this region, we guarantee our customers that our high quality, credible dyeing salt will not create problems while using it for dyeing purposes.
