POWSIL™ 99580 is a novel polyether silicone terpolymer that provides consistent hydrophilicity to all types of fiber or fabric than other silicone softeners. It imparts soft & slick hand feel to various fabric as well. It is very stable in ordinary textile finish process without causing oil-spots on fabric.
