Hydrophilic Silicone Softener

Introduction

POWSIL-59360LV is a milky emulsion with big particle sizes & imparts a super slick & soft feeling to various fabrics. It contains a revolutionary silicone molecule that is able to deliver consistent hydrophilicity to most types of textile fiber or fabric and be used in smaller amounts than other silicone microemulsion softeners. It is very stable in ordinary textile finish process without causing the formation of oil-spots on fabric.

Benefits

• Provides fast & consistent water absorption on various fabric;

• Comes in big particle size that imparts better soft & smooth feeling than traditional hydrophilic silicone softeners;

• Amount used is lesser compared to micro emulsion;

• Water dispersible macro-emulsion;

• Readily diluted to any degree without additional emulsifies;

• Very stable & prevents the formation of oil-spots if used under normal textile finishing conditions;

• Excellent affinity to all types of textile;

• Excellent fiber elasticity and shape recovery;

• Durable softness to laundering;

• Less fabric yellowing;

• Little or no color re-deposition;

• Outstandingly exhaustible to particularly natural fibers;

• Redyeable & over dyeable.

Typical Physical Properties

Application

POWSIL-59360LV can be readily diluted in water. No additional emulsifying is required to directly apply it in textile finish process.

POWSIL-59360LV 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 rinsing.

• 1. Pad-dry-cure process

• 2. Exhaustion process

• 3. Garment washing process

Stripping:

POWSIL-59360LV can be stripped off fabric. The stripping formulation is as follows:

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