For years, dye machine boil-outs (cleanings) have been wrenching millions of dollars in direct and indirect costs from the textile industry. Plagued with time-consuming boil-out procedures, which involve hazardous petroleum solvents, caustic and hydro, companies lose four to six hours of production time while cleaning dyes from their jet, package and beam dyeing equipment. Often, one boil-out is ineffective, resulting in more cleanings and more equipment downtime. 

One new product, Copia BOS-130M, can help alleviate this frustrating waste of money and time by reducing total dye boil-out time to 45 minutes. And it is environmentally friendly- eradicating harmful and costly Textile Mill Effluents. Covering each class of dyestuffs (e.g. disperse, acid reactive, vat, pigment, direct cationic, etc.), Copia BOS-130M significantly cuts major production and environmental clean-up costs for textile mills and increases efficiency rates by 10 to 20 percent.   
   

Trimer Removal 

Trimer manifests itself in several ways- most commonly by redepositing on fabric or yarn-dyed material. Much like textile dye removal, procedures to remove trimer can require three to six hours of cleaning and more machine downtime for additional boil-outs. 

Copia BOS-130M offers complete, low temperature boil-outs at 140 degrees Fahrenheit in 30 minutes. During the boil-out, it emulsifies trimer (e.g. waxes, silicones and spinning oils), allowing trimer to be flushed while in suspension. Copia BOS-130M also prevents the buildup of silicates in batch and continuous bleaching during preparation stages.
