APPLICATION

Biodegradability, toxicity or pollution of water and air are not taken into consideration with reducing agent. Since in the reduction of sulphur dyes to give leuco sulphur dyes there are formed inorganic polysulphides (mainly Na2S, Na2Sx and/or NaHS) and some sulphide in excess may be present, which constitute a disturbing component in the final product as it cause development of H₂S when handling the dye or when dyeing with it, and/or results in the occurrence of inorganic sulphides in the back-water of the dyeing process.
