Mercerizing Assistant
CAS Number: 68439-46-3
Mercerizing assistant is a penetrating and wetting surfactant blend that facilitates rapid, uniform penetration of concentrated caustic soda into cotton fabric during the mercerizing process, ensuring complete swelling of cellulose fibers for maximum luster, strength gain, and dye uptake improvement. It reduces the time required for caustic penetration and improves the uniformity of mercerization across the fabric width. Alkali-stable formulation ensures performance under high NaOH concentrations.
