TANACTIVE H BRAND DYES are monochlorotriazine reactive dyes having a low
reactivity and low substantivity. Since these dyes have low reactivity, they
require more severe conditions for fixation with cellulosic materials. They are
readily soluble by pouring water of 80-85oC on powder & stirring well. They are
applicable on cellulosic materials by both dyeing as well as printing methods.
In comparison with cold brand dyes, the `H' brand dyes require either a long
steaming time or a high thermofixation temperature (with urea) for optimum
fixation. H dyes of low to medium substantivity may lead to migration problem in
dyeing prior to fixation.
When low concentration of highly substantive dyes are used, tailing becomes
evident. Tailing is avoided by selecting dyes of low or medium substantivity,
using small padding troughs fed to constant level and operating at the highest
running speed commensurate with the needs of the rest of the process
