Product introduction

TY4-18 PP Substitute is a ready-to-use product designed for the partial decolorization of denim garments, a process commonly known as "spraying a monkey" or creating "nimbus" effects. It delivers excellent results on all types of denim fabrics, including those with stretch yarn, indigo, or vulcanized dyes.

As a modern alternative to traditional Potassium Permanganate (PP), our formula is free of manganese, chlorine, iodine, and bromine compounds. This makes it a significantly safer product for workers and results in minimal environmental impact.

Conditions of Use & Application Methods

TY4-18 is versatile and can be applied through various methods to achieve different aesthetic effects.

Pre-treatment: No special pre-treatment is required, except for prior hand rubbing or laser treatment if desired.

Application Methods:

Spraying (Most Common): Usually applied topically with a spray gun for localized effects.

Manual Application: Can also be applied with sponges, brushes, and microfiber gloves for different textures and heavier effects.

Immersion: Can be used in an immersion process for different treatment purposes.

Process Guidelines

1. Reaction

After application, leave the treated garment at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the product to fully react.

2. Neutralization (Essential Step)

Before subsequent washing, a complete and correct neutralization process is crucial to ensure excellent whiteness and long-lasting homogeneity. Choose one of the following methods:

Method A: Treat with 2-3 g/L Special White + 2-3 g/L hydrogen peroxide at 45°C for 10 minutes.

Method B: Treat with 2-3 g/L sodium metabisulfite at 45°C for 10 minutes.

Note: For severe color loss, it is recommended to use both neutralization methods and add a suitable anti-back staining agent.

Recommended Dosage

Mixing Ratio: Mix 1 part catalyst (e.g., our TY-8806P PP Catalyzer) with 5 parts of TY4-18 substitute. After mixing, this concentrate can be diluted with water in any proportion to achieve the desired effect.

Typical Dosage: Normally, 30 - 80 grams of the mixed solution are used per garment, depending on the fabric and the desired intensity of the effect.

Important Notes

Preliminary Testing: Always run preliminary tests on your specific fabric to verify the final result before bulk production.

Mixture Stability: Due to the unstable nature of the mixture, it is always recommended to prepare a fresh solution before use.

Container Choice: Use HDPE or stainless steel containers, as the product may be sensitive to some plastics or metals.

Handling: This product must be handled in accordance with industrial safety and hygiene regulations. Please refer to the provided MSDS and use necessary protective equipment.
