Product manufacturing:
1. Washing and cleaning products and products for personal hygiene
A stabilizing effect of ALVOL L on the foam as well as improvement of dermatological properties of finalized product has been evidenced in formulations of washing, cleaning and cosmetic products.
2. Textile industry
It is used as a wetting agent into whitening baths in oxidation and reduction procedures. When put into strongly alkaline baths it comes to decomposition. Dosage: 0,3 up to 5 g per litre.
It is also applicable when dying by all dyestuffs groups with the exception of reactive dyes. Combination with levelling preparations of cationic, non-ionic and even anionic character is also possible.
Dosage:
Winch 0,3 to 0,5 g per litre
Jiggers 1 g per litre
Appliances for dying of cross reels: 0,3 up to 1 g per litre
Continuous dying: 2 up to 5 g per litre
Improves and quickens the baths permeation into material during non-ironing, non-shrinking, creaseproof and stiffening adjustments and when textile bonding.
Dosage: 0,5 up to 2 g per litre.
3. Leather industry
Soaking of salted hides
Dosage: 0,2 up to 0,5 % and 0,1 up to 0,3% of soda
Soaking of dry hides
It secures more thorough and more uniform skin softening and shortens the overall soaking time
Dosage: 0,1 to 0,3 % and 0,3% of soda
Vegetable tanning
It improves permeation of vegetable tanning, eliminates sedimentation of sludge and leads to better utilization of tanning materials.
Dosage for back dyes: 0,05 to 0,1 %
Softening of suede leathers
Dosage: ALVOL L 0,2 % technical ammonia 1,0 %, temperature 40 oC, time 2 hours
4. Paper industry
ALVOL L may be utilized when releasing paper pulp and processing waste paper as an excellent wetting agent.
Dosage: 0,5 to 1 g per litre
