Cationic Yellow 13

Basic Yellow 13 appearance of cationic yellow 13 is generally brownish yellow powder. It can dissolve 10g/L when it is slightly soluble in cold water at 40 ° C. The dyed acrylic fiber is bright green and yellowish red under the tungsten light. If it needs to be dyed at 120 ° C high temperature Dark. When dyeing the color of copper ions is slightly changed and the color of iron ions is unchanged.

Application:

Basic Yellow 13 Used in acrylic dyeing, also used for modification polyester dyeing. In acrylic fabric can be directly on printing and discharge printing color.

Basic Yellow 13 Use condition:

  • ‍1. Acrylic dyeing: suitable for acrylic dyeing, in acetic acid and sodium acetate bath, the dyeing bath pH is stable in the range of 2~6, if it is dyed with sulfuric acid or formic acid bath, the color shade is unchanged. The dye leveling and The color fastness is good, the color light is slightly weaker than the green light of cationic yellow X-7GLL, and the same as the cationic yellow X-8GL color light. It is mainly used for dyeing acrylic fiber, fiber strip and acrylic yarn. It is dyed yellow alone or with cationic green Blue GB is bright green, and can also be combined with X-type cationic dyes to produce a variety of bright colors. Cationic yellow X-6G often with cationic red X-GRL, blue X-GRL or X-GRRL to form three primary colors, dyed acrylic blankets and knitted fabrics Medium dark color. Cationic yellow X-6G is suitable for dyeing nitrile blends, which have little stain on the viscose. After dyeing the acrylic products, high temperature ironing will affect the shade.
  • 2. Other fiber dyeing: When dyeing chlorine fiber, anionic surfactant should be added. Sunlight, soaping (50 °C) and perspiration (alkali) fastness are all grade 5.Basic Yellow 13 can also dye diacetate fiber and add benzene. Expanding agent such as diphenol, light fastness 6 grade, soaping fastness (40 ° C) 4 grade, perspiration fastness (alkali) 4~5 grade.
  • 3. Printing: Basic Yellow 13 can be directly printed on acrylic fabric. It can also be used as a coloring paste for other coloring with stannous chloride as a discharge agent.‍

FAQ

What substrates does Basic Yellow 13 dye best?

It performs best on cationic and ammonium-modified fibers (acrylics, some nylons), leather and paper; not suitable for untreated cotton.

How is it supplied and how should it be dosed?

Supplied as powder or liquid concentrate; typical dosing is 0.1–2.0% owf depending on shade depth and substrate — start small and titrate for target K/S.

What are its lightfastness and washfastness properties?

Usually fair to good for indoor use; washfastness varies by substrate and fixative — post-treatment/fixation improves washfastness on acrylics and leather.

Any special handling or storage notes?

Store dry and cool. Avoid inhalation of dust; use standard PPE. Keep pH in recommended range (4–7) for best performance.

Is it compatible with common auxiliaries and pigments?

Compatible with most cationic auxiliaries and levellers; avoid strong anionic agents which may reduce uptake.
