Dyeing
Highly Concentrated Rope Opener
A lubricating auxiliary that helps fabric run smoothly through rope-form dyeing machinery without permanent crease or rope marks.
Process stage & fibres
| Process stage | Dyeing |
|---|---|
| Fibres suited | Wovens and knits processed in rope form (winch, jet and similar rope-form machines). |
Function
In rope-form dyeing machines, fabric runs as a twisted rope rather than flat, and this product lubricates it so it moves through the machine smoothly. Without it, friction can set permanent crease marks into the fabric and cause uneven dye pick-up along the folds. It is used throughout winch and jet dyeing to keep the fabric running cleanly.
Typical applications and what it solves
- Crease and rope marks surviving into the finished, set fabric
- Uneven dye pick-up along fold lines in winch or jet dyeing
- Fabric running tight or catching in rope-form machinery
