Hydrophilic Silicone Softener

Introduction

POWSIL™-99223 is a super soft, bulky and fast hydrophilic textile softener which contains revolutionary silicone molecules to deliver voluminous and silky hand feeling to textile fabric.

POWSIL™-99223 provides hydrophilicity to most types of textile fiber or fabric. It is very stable in ordinary textile finish process without oil-spots on fabric.

Benefits

• Fast water absorption on various fabric, especially suitable for cotton knit and terry towel;

• Can be used in cheese dyeing as a lubricant without causing differences of color and hand feel inside and outside spindles;

• Provides soft, bulky and smooth hand feel;

• Excellent affinity with all types of textile;

• Excellent fiber elasticity and shape recovery;

• Excellent exhaustibility to special natural fibers;

• Less fabric yellowing;

• Redyeable & over dyeable;

• Easy to be diluted to any grades without additional emulsifies;

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

Typical Physical Properties

Application

POWSIL™-99223 can be readily diluted with water into any grades. No additional emulsifying process is required.

• 1. Formulation:

• 2. Dilution Procedures:

1) Charge water-1 (initial water, usually amount of initial water is same as

POWSIL™-99223 calculated) into a tank;

2) Add POWSIL™-99223;

3) After addition, start to stir for 10-20 min until the content become homogenous;

4) Then add water-2 (rest water) at moderate speed under stirring;

5) After all additions, continue to stir for 10-15 min;

6) A clear to translucent micro-emulsion will be obtained.

POWSIL™-99223 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.

• 1. Pad-dry-cure process

• 2. Exhaustion process

• 3. Garment washing process

• 4. Cheese dyeing process

Guides of Striping:

POWSIL™-99223 can be stripped off fabric. The stripping formulation is as following:

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