Hydrophilic Silicone Softener

Introduction

POWSIL-59220 is an innovative textile softener, especially designed to deliver a hydrophilic, voluminous and silky natural hand feel to most types of fabrics at lower use level than traditional silicone softeners. It provides fast & consistent hydrophilicity and high ability of fabric to rapidly absorb & retain liquid water of water absorption to most types of textile fiber or fabric, especially for terry towel, which cannot be obtained with traditional silicone or fatty acid based softeners. It is very stable in ordinary textile finish process without causing oil-spots on fabric.

Benefits

• Excellent fiber elasticity and shape recovery;

• Durable softness to laundering;

• Less fabric yellowing;

• Outstandingly exhaustible to particularly natural fibers;

• Re-dyeable & over dyeable;

• Readily diluted to any grades without additional emulsifies;

• Very stable & non-oil-spots if used in ordinary textile finish process;

Typical Physical Properties

Application

POWSIL-59223 can be readily diluted with water into any grades wihout additional emulsifying process.

Micro-emulsion for 30.0% of POWSIL-59223

• 1. Formulation:

• 2. Procedures:

1) Charge water into a tank and start to stir;

2) Add POWSIL-59223 gradually under stirring;

3) Continue to stir for 5-10 min after all addition;

4) Clear micro-emulsion will be obtained at end of this procedure.

POWSIL-59223 can be used as received or pre-diluted with water before applying.

Optimum treatments are dependent on the required softness of the fabric and yarn after dyeing and finishing.

• 1. Pad-dry-cure process

• 2. Exhaustion process

• 3. Garment washing process

Stripping:

POWSIL-59223 can be stripped off fabric. The stripping formulation is as follows:

Add water and NaOH onto fabric tank and then heat to 100°C for 60 min. Then rinse fabric with acidic water and water.
