Step Chemical Purpose
Scouring NaOH + Detergent Remove impurities
Bleaching H2O2 Whiten fabric
Dyeing Reactive Dye + Salt Coloring
Fixing Soda Ash Fix color
Wash Soaping agent Remove excess dye
3. Chemical Combination Knowledge
Never mix incompatible chemicals. For example: Acid + Hypochlorite releases toxic gas. Always
maintain pH control.
4. Margin Strategy (Real Market)
Product Purchase ■ Selling ■ Margin
Caustic Soda 30 34 Low volume high turnover
Silicone 120 150 High margin
Reactive Dye 500 650 Premium segment
5. Supplier Strategy
Work with 2-3 backup suppliers. Maintain credit cycles and negotiate bulk pricing.
6. How to Talk Like Expert
Instead of selling product, solve problems: 'Shade variation? Use leveling agent'. 'Low fastness?
Add fixing agent'.
7. Sampling Strategy
Always give trial samples. Mills trust results, not words. Small success = big orders.
8. Gujarat Market Insights
Focus areas: Surat (processing hub), Ahmedabad (mills), Jetpur (dyeing). Fast moving products
give quick growth.
9. Risk Management
Avoid long credit cycles. Maintain quality consistency. Always check batch before delivery.
