• Synthrapol® is an industrial strength, pH neutral, liquid detergent used as a prewash and afterwash for dyed or painted fabrics and as a wetting agent for fabric dyes and paints.
• Synthrapol® has the unique property of keeping loose dye suspended during washing, thus preventing backstaining while aiding in the removal of excess color.

PREWASH

• Prewashing fabric with Synthrapol® to remove oils, waxes, starches and sizings helps ensure an even dye job and reduces the risk of blotchy color.

1. Add 3 tablespoons/44 ml Synthrapol per 8 lb/3.63 kg washing load.
2. For cotton and other cellulose fibers, add 2 tablespoons/30 g soda ash.
3. Wash for at least 10 minutes using hot water and then rinse thoroughly.

AFTERWASH

• Synthrapol® helps keep loose dye in suspension and is used to remove excess color and prevent backstaining.

1.  After dyeing or painting, rinse fabric in cold water and then wash for at least 10 minutes using 3 tablespoons/44 ml Synthrapol® per 8 lb/3.63 kg fabric.
2. Use hot water for cotton, cool to warm water for silk and wool, and then rinse thoroughly in cold water.

WETTING AGENT

• Adding Synthrapol® to a dye bath or fabric paint can increase dye penetration and helps ensure even coloring.

1. When dyeing wool and other hard-to-wet fibers, add 2 to 3 drops Synthrapol® per 5 lb/2.27 kg fabric.
2. To increase the penetration, coverage and adhesion of fabric paints on hard-to-wet fabrics, add 1 to 2 drops Synthrapol® per 2 fl oz/59.15 ml paint.
