Frequently Asked Questions

Is MESITOL BSF free of Bisphenol and does it comply with the new Bisphenol regulations?

Yes, MESITOL BSF is free of Bisphenol and fully complies with the new regulations.

Does MESITOL BSF have any negative impact on human health and the environment?

No, MESITOL BSF does not have any negative impact on human health or the environment. This is because it is free from harmful chemicals like Bisphenol S and Bisphenol F, meets strict environmental and safety standards, and is produced using eco-friendly processes that reduce wastewater and CO2 footprint.

Can MESITOL BSF improve the wet fastness on dyed PA, especially for dark and black shades?

Yes, MESITOL BSF significantly improves the wet fastness on dyed PA, particularly for dark and black shades. It ensures excellent color stability and wash fastness, making it ideal for achieving rich, deep shades. While it is particularly effective for darker colors, it provides reliable performance across a range of shades, ensuring your fabrics maintain their vibrant appearance.

Does MESITOL BSF negatively influence light fastness?

No, MESITOL BSF does not negatively influence light fastness. Light fastness means how well a color stays the same when exposed to light. MESITOL BSF helps the dye stick better to the fabric, which makes it more resistant to washing and water. This is especially useful for dark and black colors. However, MESITOL BSF does not change how the color reacts to light, so the light fastness remains the same.
