MASTONE WP
BIODEGRADABLE, LOW FOAMING NONIONIC DETERGENT
WP is a biodegradable nonionic, low foaming surfactant, developed for use in jet machines and rotary
washing/dyeing machines with high-speed turbulence as well as for high speed padding operations.
WP possesses excellent wetting, emulsifying and washing effect. It can be used in a wide pH range in
textile pretreatment, dyeing and finishing.
WP is composed of biodegradable ingredients with no potential for bio-accumulation, and with no
evolution of toxic compounds during biodegradation.
WP is environmentally acceptable, and can be regarded as a "GREEN" product.

PROPERTIES & USES:
1. WP is applied for treatments of all kinds of textiles such as cotton, rayon and synthetic fibres.
2. Detergent for high-speed machines or those with tendency to foam, e. g. jet-machines, overflow machine, rotary washing machines and high-speed continuous machines.
3. WP is particularly recommended as wetting agent for enzymatic de-sizing. The efficiency of the enzymes is not impaired in any way. Penetration of the textile material with the de-sizing liquor is accelerated and loosening of the decomposed starch is facilitated.
4. During kier-boiling, WP loosens waxes contained in the grey cotton, emulsifies them and disperses the pigment soil and decomposition products of the husks. Staining during kier-boiling is thus avoided.
5. WP can be applied in neutral, alkaline or slightly acidic liquors.
Typical formulation:
a.Scouring of cotton and blends.
WP 1.0 - 2 g/l
Caustic Soda (50%) 1.0 - 2 g/l
Treat at 80-90ºC for 15-30 min.
b.Desizing in rotary washers.
WP 1.0 - 2 g/l
DL 1.0 - 3 g/l
Treat at 60-65ºC for 10-20 minutes.
c. Scouring of polyester and other synthetics.
It is of advantage to wash man-made fibres and textiles with WP together with the addition of a complexing/dispersing additive.
WP 1.0 - 2 g/l
MASQUEST CS 1.0 -2 g/l
Treat at 70-80ºC for 15-30 min.
