NOVACRON LS
The NOVACRON LS dyes are innovative bi-reactive dyes, with very high tinctorial strength, for hot dyeing.
Highly compatible range for a wide shade spectrum.
The NOVACRON LS concept is the first and unique low salt range on the market. Only 1/3 of the salt
amount required by standard reactive dyes is needed.
All these properties play a great part in the outstanding reproducibility and environmentally oriented
behavior of the NOVACRON LS dyes.

Highlights of NOVACRON LS ...and what they mean for the dyer

Outstanding ecological properties
- fixation over 80%
- drastically reduced salt usage (1/3 that of
reactive dyes available on the market)
Reduced costs and worries - fulfilling
severe environmental requirements
- much less dye in waste water and
- much less salt in waste water, both
resulting in lower environmental costs
- less corrosion of machinery and concrete
- much less salt in water positively impacts
efficiency of biological water treatment
unit

Minimum salt

A deep shade is to be dyed on a 1000 kg jet at liquor ratio 10:1, requiring 10000 liters water and 80 g/l salt.

The principles of salt removal

Salt removal is purely a question of dilution

It is dependent on

Carry-over from the last bath
(normally 2-3 times the weight of the goods)

Amount of water (liquor ratio)
(the higher the liquor ratio, the more effective the salt removal)

Soaping is most effective if the amount of salt does not exceed 1g/l. Up to now, two rinses were
necessary to remove the salt.
With NOVACRON LS dyes, which require less salt for dyeing, only one rinse is normally required.
This means

Time saving
Removal of salt by rinsing (liquor ratio 10:1)

Migration method

Note salt quality
Either common salt or Glaubers salt anhydrous can be used. Glaubers salt can occasionally have a marked
acid reaction. If this occurs, the amount of fixing alkali has to be increased accordingly. Sea salt and impure
common salt contain soluble alkaline earth ions.
If Glaubers salt cryst. (Na

Soap for 10 min at 95C/203F

A second soaping operation is recommended
for dark shades

Rinse for 10 min at 70C/158F

Rinse for 10 min cold

One rinse is sufficient if liquor ratio is 10:1 or
above
Rinse twice if liquor ratio is below 10:1 or
give intermittent / overflow rinse

and if required:

Aftertreat for 20 min with ALBAFIX
ECO/WFF at 40C/104F
pH 6-7 with acetic acid

Recommended for deep shades
(approx. 1.5 - 2 SD)
Can be combined with softeners

Color difference from standard original

Shade acceptability
In the illustration, shades (A, B) falling in the center ellipse (bulls eye) are not visually different from each
other.
Points within the outer ellipse (C) are within trace tolerances of the standard, i.e., a trained observer would
perceive a small shade difference (with difficulty).
Points falling outside the outer ellipse (D) represent distinct and therefore unacceptable shade differences
from the standard.

Center point = standard (original)

Dyeing auxiliaries

The use of dyeing auxiliaries is highly recommended to achieve fully satisfactory dyeing results.

Benefits of dyeing auxiliaries

To improve levelness and appearance
Products for penetrating / de-aerating / defoaming
Dyeing lubricants

To avoid problems caused by impurities in the dyebath
Dyebath conditioners
Special products

To improve fastness
Soaping agent
Cationic fastness improvers

Huntsman offers highly effective products that give optimum results in bulk working.

ALBAFIX
WFF
cationic
wet fastness
improver
- formaldehyde-free
- prevents migration after dyeing
- protects dye/fiber bond of reactive dyes against acid
hydrolysis and thermocracking
- little influence on light fastness and shade
- no adverse effect on handle
Goods dyed to medium and deep shades should be aftertreated following washing off

Method: aftertreatment with ALBAFIX ECO/WFF at 40C/104F for 20-30 min. pH 67 adjusted with acetic acid. The
goods are then hydroextracted and dried without rinsing.


Handling reactive dyes
NOVACRON LS dyes present no special risk to health if the usual hygiene and safety rules for handling
chemicals are observed in storage, handling and use. Ingestion, inhalation, and skin and eye contact must be
avoided. Any application restrictions indicated on the informative labels should also be observed.
For information on toxicology and ecology, please see the relevant Safety Data Sheets.
