HL-3 is cationic surfactant that is used for cationic dyeing. It combines with acrylic fiber earlier than dyes so that it can retard initial dyeing, gradually be replaced by cationic dyes at high temperature, and worked as leveling agent. It has better effect when used with Leveling agent HL-2. 

Characteristics and advantage
◎It doesn’t contain benzalkonium chloride that is prohibited in EU countries
◎It has good retarding ability for cationic dyes.
◎It imparts good softness and slip, also has anti static function.
◎It has excellent stability to acid and alkali resistant, but is not compatible with anionic dyestuffs or surfactants.
