Characteristics |
Benefits |
---|---|
Reduce BOD/COD | Approximately 50% reduction in BOD/COD in comparison to acetic acid. |
Has greater core alkali neutralization | It is often used as a de-sizing agent, helping to remove sizing agents applied to the fabric during weaving. This is an essential step before dyeing or finishing the fabric. |
Very less odour & much less volatility | Assures consistent results in all types of materials such as viscose, jari, nylon, cationic by nylon, cotton, polyester etc. |
Works even in hard water & no yellowing of shades in case of white | No fumes generated thus ensuring labour’s health. |
Economical compared to acetic acid | Compared to some other chemicals used in textile processing, ACID 3000 is considered more environmentally friendly due to its biodegradability and lower environmental impact. |

Application:
- Cotton processing:
Use as the same dosage as acetic acid. In many operations, it will work at lower concentrations than acetic acid. - Polyster / Nylon dyeing – yarn & frabic :
ACID 3000 – 0.5 – 1 gms/ltr. (To adjust pH 4.5 – 5.5). - Print batching:
ACID 3000 – 0.6 – 1.5 gms/ltr (To maintain pH-5).
FAQS
Cutting-Edge Fashion & Textile Solutions
GREEN ACID 3000 remains stable and effective in hard water, preventing yellowing in white shades while maintaining fabric quality.
Yes, GREEN ACID 3000 can be used in place of acetic acid in cotton processing and often works at lower concentrations, reducing operational costs.
GREEN ACID 3000 reduces BOD/COD levels by approximately 50% compared to acetic acid, offering a more sustainable and biodegradable solution.
