3.1. Determining the Dosage of Viechemol SR Scouring Chemical
To ensure the cotton fabric washing and dyeing process has no errors, please follow the formula guidelines below:
For normal dirty fabric:
- VieChemol SR Conc 1.5–2.0%
- Temperature: 80 – 95°C
For heavily dirty fabric:
- Option 1:
- VieChemol SR Conc 2.0–2.5%
- Temperature: 90 – 95°C
- Option 2:
- VieChemol SR Conc 2.0–2.5%
- Temperature: 90 – 95°C
Note:
- The optimal temperature for washing is 40°C.
- When used to remove metal impurities, it should be neutralized in the final wash.
- Fabrics finished with a water or oil repellent must be rinsed with a detergent afterwards.

- Step 2: Cold wash to rinse off the chemicals and prepare for the dyeing process. This takes 30 – 40 minutes.
2 – Process for Treating Dark-Colored Cotton Fabric with Chemicals Traditional process for washing and dyeing dark-colored cotton fabric:
- Step 1: Add chemicals to scour the greige fabric, removing oil, sizing (gelatin), sediment, dirt, and stains. This takes 2 – 3 hours.
- Step 2: Hot wash to clean the bleach and any remaining sediment. This takes 1 hour.
- Step 3: Adjust the pH to a standard level to achieve the required color, avoiding bleeding and unevenness. This takes 30 minutes.
- Step 4: Cold wash to rinse off chemicals for use or to prepare for the dyeing process. This takes 15 – 20 minutes.
- Step 5: Use chemicals and dyes to dye the fabric. This usually takes 5 hours.
- Step 6: Cold wash to clean the excess dye on the fabric. This takes 15-20 minutes.
- Step 7: Adjust the pH to a standard level to achieve the desired color. This usually takes 45 – 60 minutes.
- Step 8: Hot wash to fix the color and rinse off chemicals from step 7. This takes 1 hour.
- Step 9: Hot wash to rinse off chemicals from step 8.
- Step 10: Hot wash for a deep clean.
- Step 11: Cold wash to finish the dyeing process.
Process for washing and dyeing dark-colored cotton fabric with Viechemol SR Conc:
- Step 1: Use Viechemol SR Conc scouring chemical to clean the greige fabric to the standard color. This takes about 2 hours.
- Step 2: Dye the fabric with chemicals and dyes. This takes 190 minutes.
- Step 3: Hot wash in 7 stages to rinse off dyes and chemicals. Stage 4 adds Viechemol. The total time is about 150 minutes.
4. The Effectiveness of Viechemol SR Scouring Chemical on Cotton Fabric
When using the Viechemol SR Conc scouring chemical with the cotton fabric washing and dyeing process, the final product will meet the standards for beautiful, non-bleeding colors and have high colorfastness and fabric durability.
