Precision in Production: Manufacturing Process Flow

The manufacturing of our liquid sulfur black dye adheres to stringent quality control standards, ensuring consistent performance and stability.

Materials

· Raw Sulfur: High-purity elemental sulfur, the core chromophore.

· Sodium Polysulfide: Acts as the reducing agent and solvent.

· Organic Intermediates: Specific aromatic compounds for color development and shade adjustment.

· Stabilizers & Dispersants: Proprietary additives to ensure reduction stability and prevent aggregation.

· Water: Deionized water for dissolution and formulation.

Methods: Step-by-Step Production

1. Sulfurization: Raw sulfur is reacted with organic intermediates in the presence of sodium polysulfide at elevated temperatures and controlled pressure. This forms the crude sulfur dye.

2. Reduction & Dissolution: The crude dye is then dissolved in a precise amount of sodium polysulfide solution, maintaining it in a stable reduced (leuco) state. This forms the concentrated liquid sulfur dye.

3. Filtration: The solution undergoes multiple stages of filtration to remove any insoluble impurities, ensuring a clean and homogenous product.

4. Standardization: The dye concentration, shade, and other critical parameters are adjusted to meet specific product specifications through batch testing and additive incorporation.

5. Stabilization: Specialized stabilizers are added to enhance the long-term storage stability and prevent oxidation of the reduced dye solution.

6. Quality Control: Extensive testing is performed on each batch for strength, shade, reduction stability, and purity before packaging.

Testing Standards & Quality Assurance

Every batch undergoes rigorous testing according to international standards (e.g., ISO, AATCC, ASTM) for:

· Color Strength (K/S value): Measured spectrophotometrically.

· Shade Consistency: Compared against master standards.

· Reduction Stability: Accelerated aging tests to ensure long shelf life.

· Impurity Levels: ICP-OES for heavy metals, titration for residual sulfides.

· pH Value: Crucial for dyeing application.

· Viscosity & Density: For consistent dosing in automated systems.

· Fastness Properties: Wash fastness, light fastness, rubbing fastness (on dyed samples).

Service Life & Stability

Our sulphur black liquid is formulated for excellent stability, typically offering a minimum shelf life of 12-18 months when stored in original sealed containers under recommended conditions (cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and oxidizing agents). Its robust reduction state stability minimizes degradation during storage and ensures consistent dyeing performance over time.

Applicable Industries

· Textile Industry: Primarily for cotton, cellulose fibers, and blends. Essential for denim, workwear, and casual apparel.

· Paper Industry: For black paperboard, recycled paper products, and specialized paper coloring.

· Leather Industry: Certain applications for black leather dyeing.

· Industrial Coloring: Various general industrial black coloring needs where cost-effectiveness and deep black are critical.

Technical Deep Dive: Parameters & Standards

Technical Terminology

· Leuco Form: The reduced, water-soluble, colorless or pale-colored form of a sulfur dye, which is necessary for absorption by the fiber.

· Oxidation: The process by which the leuco form of the dye develops its final color by reacting with atmospheric oxygen on the fiber.

· Shade Consistency: The ability of a dye to produce the same color tone and depth across different dye lots and applications.

· Fastness Properties: Refers to the resistance of a dye's color to various degrading influences like washing, light, rubbing, and perspiration.

· K/S Value: A measure of dye strength or color depth, derived from reflectance measurements using the Kubelka-Munk equation.
