Abstract

Guanidine is a very strong base and even under alkaline conditions above pH 11 is present in aqueous conditions as the protonated guanidinium cation. This property does not seem to have been exploited for fixing sulfonated dyes on polyamide substrates.
This study demonstrates that guanidine chloride can be used to after-treat acid dyeings on nylon 6,6 to impart very good wash-fastness properties. The after-treatment can be carried out effectively at pH 10 for 15 minutes.

Keywords:Alkaline; Guanidinium cation; Polyamide substrates
