Step-By-Step Guide for Remove Oil Agent Usage
Removing stubborn oil stains from greige goods can feel daunting, yet Remove Oil Agent simplifies the process into four repeatable steps. This guide walks textile engineers through best practices so that every batch treated with Remove Oil Agent meets the highest cleanliness standard.
Step 1: Bath Preparation
Begin by setting the liquor ratio at 1:8. Add 1–3 g/L of Remove Oil Agent depending on the severity of contamination. For heavily soiled polyester microfiber, the upper dosage of Remove Oil Agent ensures complete degreasing. Heat the bath to 55–60 °C while maintaining a pH between 7.5 and 8.0. The mild alkalinity activates Remove Oil Agent without saponifying natural waxes that protect cotton.

Step 2: Agitation and Time
Once the target temperature is reached, introduce the fabric and run the machine for 20 minutes. During this phase, Remove Oil Agent dislodges mineral oils, silicone emulsions, and graphite particles. Operators should watch for excessive foam; if any appears, 0.1 g/L of antifoam can be added without reducing the efficacy of Remove Oil Agent.

Step 3: Rinsing
After the scouring cycle, drain and rinse twice with fresh water at 40 °C. Residual Remove Oil Agent is easily removed because its micelles stay dispersed in the liquor. Conduct a quick AATCC 118 test on the final rinse; if the oil repellency grade is ≤1, Remove Oil Agent has done its job.

Step 4: Drying and Verification
Finally, extract and dry the fabric at 130 °C for 45 seconds. Inspect under ultraviolet light for any fluorescent spots that signal remaining oil. If none appear, the Remove Oil Agent treatment is complete. For extra white goods, follow with a 0.3 % owb H₂O₂ bleach; Remove Oil Agent will not interfere with peroxide activity.

Tips for Trouble-Free Processing
• Always dose Remove Oil Agent before adding caustic to avoid localized saponification.
• When working with spandex blends, keep temperature below 65 °C to protect elastane while still allowing Remove Oil Agent to function.
• Recycle rinse water for the next bath after filtration; Remove Oil Agent components are readily biodegradable, so the effluent is safe.
