Introduction :
Americos Sequester 2000 is an anionic, low foaming chelating / sequestering / dispersing agent for metal ions and other impurities present in fibers and water. In the dyeing, Americos Sequester 2000 eliminates spotting of goods. It promotes soft hand and absorbency by preventing deposition of salts such of calcium, magnesium and iron. It disperses insoluble salts for easy rinsing.

The advantages of Americos Sequester 2000 are :

• Prevention of pinhole formation due to catalytic oxidation caused by iron during bleaching (chelates iron / heavy metals)
• During dyeing, it prevents spots, shade change and unlevelness by chelating heavy metals and dispersing impurities
• Increased productivity
• Improved rinsing due to scale inhibition (effective at low concentrations, such as in rinse baths)

Properties :

Application :

Application levels of 0.50 - 0.75 g/L of Americos Sequester 2000 are recommended to sequester and disperse hardness causing salts and other impurities in the fibers and water.

During fabric preparation, Americos Sequester 2000 also provides iron chelating to prevent fabric/yarn damage from catalyzed oxidation, disperses silicate salts, and provides additional stabilizing effect on the hydrogen peroxide.

In disperse and reactive dye baths, Americos Sequester 2000 sequesters metals, which can adversely affect the shade, depth, and levelness of the dyeing plus it performs as a dye dispersant.

Storage & handling precautions :

• Store in a cool/dry place
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight
• The shelf life of Americos Sequester 2000 is one year if storage temperature is below 30°C
• The usual storage, handling, usage and safety precautions should be observed

Introduction :
Americos Wettex 800 is a nonionic surfactant based, powerful wetting agent, derived from alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers family. It also contains higher alkylene oxides in small amounts. At room temperature it is a cloudy liquid and it tens to form sediment. It becomes clear liquid at 50°C. By virtue of the high level of surface activity, Americos Wettex 800 finds applications in textiles and in detergents and cleaners for household, industrial and institutional use.

Advantages :

• It is a very effective wetting agent. It can be employed in a variety of refining, mixing, impregnating and surface treatment processes
• Because of its nonionic nature, Americos Wettex 800 can be combined with anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants and auxiliaries.
• Its compatibility with dyes, pigments, protective colloids, thickeners and other substances with molar mass in the upper range is also very good.
• It also performs well as emulsifier and it can be combined with other emulsifiers
• It can be used to disperse the solids generated by reactions. It can be used alone or in combination with protective colloids
• It is a powerful wetting agent for denim
• Americos Wettex 800 can be used to formulate acidic, alkaline, and neutral cleaners that satisfy many requirements

Note:
High concentrations of inorganic salts, bases and acids may impair the solubility of Americos Wettex 800.

Properties :

Storage & Handling Precautions :

• In accordance with the current practices, the use of Americos Wettex 800 produces no ill effects. It also does not exert any harmful effects on health, provided they are used properly
• Protect the eyes and avoid prolonged contact with the skin. Safety glasses should be worn when handling these products in their undiluted form
• Store in a cool place, avoid storing in direct sunlight
• The usual precaution for chemicals should be observed
• Shelf life: If Americos Wettex 800 is stored properly, it has a shelf life of at least two years in their original packing.
