    STONELAND EJW

    CLASSIFICATION:

    Synthetic scouring agent and surfactant.

    PROPERTIES:

    Appearance - Clear, colorless liquidpH (2% solution) - 7.6-8.0Solubility - Completely soluble in waterDensity - 8.3 lbs/gallon

    GENERAL COMMENTS:

    STONELAND EJW is a specially prepared synthetic detergent designedfor emulsification, wetting and soil removal properties in thescouring of cotton, polyester, polyester/cotton, nylon, wool andblends of these fibers, leaving a clean, soft hand to the scouredfabric. This product incorporates a wetting agent, detergent,

    sequestering agent and soil anti-redeposition agent to enhanceperformance properties. In desizing, the use of STONELAND EJW isuseful to facilitate enzymatic action in the destruction andremoval of sizing.

    APPLICATION:

    In cotton, rayon and synthetic fiber scouring, use 0.5-1.0% ofSTONELAND EJW. Heat bath to 125-140F, scour for 30 minutesand rinse when scouring is completed. Soda ash may be added ifdesired.

    In scouring wool, it is suggested to use 0.5-1.0% of STONELAND EJWand adjust the scouring bath to pH 7 by the addition of soda ashor sodium bicarbonate. Heat bath to 120-130F, scour for 30minutes and rinse when scouring is completed.

    In enzyme desizing operations, STONELAND EJW is used at 0.25-0.5%to facilitate wetting and increase the desizing power of theenzyme.
