XP-80

XP-80 is a high-strength cationic dye fixing agent designed for textile dyeing and finishing processes where maximum color fastness is required. It is specially formulated to enhance wash fastness, rubbing fastness, and overall color durability of fabrics dyed with reactive and direct dyes. XP-80 is widely used in the Bangladesh textile and garments industry due to its strong fixing performance and reliable results.

In modern textile production, especially for export-oriented garments, maintaining shade consistency after multiple washes is critical. XP-80 effectively addresses this challenge by forming a strong electrostatic bond between negatively charged dye molecules and the fabric surface. This bonding significantly reduces unfixed dye removal during washing and improves overall fabric quality.

Performance Overview

XP-80 offers higher fixing efficiency compared to standard fixing agents, making it suitable for deep shades and dark colors where dye bleeding is more likely. It works efficiently on cotton, viscose, rayon, and blended fabrics without causing excessive shade change or fabric harshness when used at recommended levels.

The product is compatible with common textile processing equipment and can be easily integrated into existing dyeing or washing lines. XP-80 performs well in both batch and continuous processes, making it suitable for dyeing mills, garments washing plants, and home textile manufacturers.

Key Applications

Reactive Dye Fixing
XP-80 is highly effective in improving wash and rubbing fastness of reactive dyed fabrics, especially dark and medium-deep shades.

Direct Dye Fixing
For direct dyed cotton and viscose fabrics, XP-80 minimizes dye migration and enhances color retention during repeated washing.

Garments Washing Plants
Widely used after enzyme wash, normal wash, or stone wash to prevent back-staining and color loss.

Home & Export Textiles
Ideal for towels, bed sheets, curtains, knit garments, woven shirts, and other textiles requiring strong fastness performance.

Benefits of XP-80

• High strength cationic fixing action

• Excellent wash fastness improvement

• Superior rubbing fastness (dry & wet)

• Reduces dye bleeding and back-staining

• Maintains fabric softness and handle

• Compatible with reactive and direct dyes

• Suitable for knit and woven fabrics

Typical Application Method

XP-80 is generally applied in the final finishing stage after dyeing and washing. It can be used in exhaust, padding, or continuous methods depending on the production setup.

General Guidelines:

• Adjust pH and temperature according to fabric and dye type

• Dosage depends on shade depth and fabric construction

• Always perform lab trial before bulk application

Importance for Bangladesh Textile Industry

Bangladesh is a major exporter of garments and home textiles, where international buyers demand high color fastness standards. XP-80 helps manufacturers meet these requirements by improving durability and reducing rejection risks. Its strong performance makes it suitable for both local consumption and export-quality production.

XP-80 is commonly used by dyeing mills, washing plants, and garments factories across Bangladesh due to its cost-effectiveness, consistent quality, and ease of use.

Storage & Handling

Store XP-80 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed. Under proper storage conditions, the product remains stable throughout its shelf life.

Safety Information

XP-80 is intended for industrial textile use only. Operators should follow standard chemical handling procedures, including the use of gloves and eye protection.
