HEMATIN NHCK
1. COMPOSITION
Obtained from logwood
(Haematoxylon Campechianum), Hematine NHCK is a natural tanning dyewood, half
oxidised.
2. PHYSICAL and CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
Aspect : powder
Color : blue black
pH (10 % solution) : 6.5 +- 1.0
Colour on leather : according to the mordant
3. CHARACTERISTICS
The air oxidation of Hematoxylin gives Haematein, allows a severe decomposition of the glucosides and reduces the tanning properties of Logwood. This characteristic of HEMATINE NHCK is very much appreciated for garment leather giving better fullness without any risk of overtanning the grain side.
HEMATINE NHCK being semi-oxidized, there is no risk of oxidation which would minimize the tinctorial value.
HEMATINE NHCK is a mordant dye.
The formation of Werner complex will take place by adding metallic salts after
dyeing and acidification. The main shades usually are :
Iron + copper : blue-black
Aluminium : indigo
Copper : dark blue
O.T.P. : brownish black
