Textile Pretreatment Agent – A Concentrated low foaming wetting agent for use in mercerizing and causticizing cotton fiber in woven, knitted and yarn form.
Chemical Nature : Surfactants in water, Anionic.
Features
- Yellowish, low viscous liquid ; pumpable.
- Soluble in water in all proportions.
- Low foaming.
- low toxicity.
- Effective detergent.
- Unaffected by electrolytes.
- Low Odour.
- Stable to electrolytes.
- Works best in Neutral to Alkaline pH range.
Benefits
- Can be added undiluted to the mercerizing or causticising liquor.
- Exhibits excellent wetting action in mercerizing and causticising process.
- Promotes intensive and rapid penetration with caustic soda solution.
- Acts as an excellent solubilizer.
- Produces very little foam in processing liquor during the washing process and in caustic recovery.
- Optimum wetting action of Leomine Mercerizer MCW is optained in approx. 200 to 300 g/l of caustic soda 100%.
Ecology
According to our experience Leomine Mercerizer MCW does not exert any harmful effects on health provided they are used as per our recommendation. Does not contain APEO / NPEO.
Storage
Leomine Mercerizer MCW has a shelf life of atleast one year if stored in its tightly sealed original packing at temperatures between 5ºC and 35ºC in a dry place. Drums should be tightly resealed each time the material is taken from them, and their
contents should be used up as soon as possible after they have been opened.

Application
Leomine Mercerizer MCW is used as a powerful wetting agent for mercerizing and causticising woven, knitted and yarn made of cotton and blends of cotton with other cellulosic fibers like Viscose and Linen.
The recommended dosage for Leomine Mercerizer MCW is given below. However, pre-testing needs to be done depending on the penetration time available and type of textile material being processed.
Grey Fabric
- Woven 4 – 8 g/l
- Knitted 4 – 8 g/l
- Yarn 4 – 8 g/l
Pre-treated fabric
- Dry 2 – 4 g/l
- Wet 1 – 2 g/l
