2. Colour can be broadly defined as the effect on the
brain of an observer when an object is viewed in
presence of a light source.

2 Achromatic Colours
4 Chromatic

3. Textile Psychology : Shape, Colour, Handle
Man’s colour perception is especially
pronounced. With textiles, clear, deep
and brilliant colours are regarded as
particularly beautiful and superior.
Furthermore, the first grasp helps us to
further assess textiles. Depending on the
application and function of textiles, we
expect fluffy softness or supple elegance.
Visual perception is the sense providing
the most information. The first impression
of shape and colour influences our
attitude towards all objects.
4. A brilliant, deep colour impression depends on fibre, the type and quantity of
dyestuffs and dyeing processes, but also on optimized finishes.
Staple fibre articles, especially of cellulosic textiles, the surface of which has been
mechanically stressed during finishing, do not show an optimum colour depth with full
dyeings.
In this connection optimum finishing means to not only smooth out textile surfaces
mechanically but also “optically”. The precondition is the formation of closed, wash-
resistant silicone films on textiles.
Amplify-BLACK optimizes “optical smoothing” through the synergy of the structure
or chain length of silicone oil polymers used and the purposefully induced distribution
of silicone oil droplets when emulsifying.
The result is a powerful, state-of-the-art and process-stable silicone softener.
5. oThe colour impression of textiles is based on the absorption and
reflection of certain wave lengths of ambient light striking. With
ideal jet-black all wave-lengths are completely absorbed, no light
is reflected. This is where the effects of Amplify-BLACK come in
due to a double mechanism :
oThe surface of textiles or individual fibres becomes considerably
smoother, which leads to less light scatter. Colour brightening is
restrained and the colour impression becomes more intensive.
oThe refractive index on textile surfaces is reduced by silicone
polymers. With multiple phase systems (air – silicone – yarn, i.e.
individual fibres / fibrils) the distance of light from entering to
leaving the textile is extended. On its longer distance through the
textile, light encounters more dyestuff molecules and is thus
better absorbed. Textiles, as a consequence, absorb more light
and thus appear significantly darker.
6. Distinct intensification of colour and brilliance of deep
dyeings.
Ultra-soft, peaches like handle.
Excellent wash resistance.
Excellent elastic resilience .
Highly effective & free of chalk or nail mark. Untreated
Reduced tendency to dyestuff migration on PES
fabric and thus better fastness levels.
Preferably applied in pad processes & suitable for
polyester & cellulosics fabrics.
