Cationic Pink - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What types of fabrics can be dyed with Cationic Pink?
A: Cationic Pink is specially formulated for synthetic fibers including nylon, polyester, and polyamide. It shows excellent affinity for these materials, providing vibrant, long-lasting coloration. The dye works particularly well with fabrics containing amino groups in their molecular structure.
Q: How does Cationic Pink compare to conventional pink dyes?
A: Cationic Pink offers several advantages over traditional dyes: superior washfastness (4-5 on ISO scale), brighter coloration, better exhaustion rates (typically 90-95%), and improved leveling properties. The cationic nature of the dye allows for stronger molecular bonding with synthetic fibers.
Q: What safety precautions should be taken when handling Cationic Pink?
A: Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and a dust mask when handling Cationic Pink powder. Work in well-ventilated areas and avoid creating dust clouds. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. Store in tightly sealed containers away from moisture and direct sunlight.
