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 %
