» POLYSOFT – R.700 (Amino Silicone Concentrate)

	POLYSOFT-R.700 is unique modified micro amino silicone having reactive amino alkyl group present on linear polydimethyl siloxane. POLYSOFT-R.700 gives excellent durable surface softness and internal softness alongwith lubricity to cotton, polyester, acrylic and their blends for woven and knitted fabrics.

	GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS :

	» APPEARANCE: Colourless to pale yellow, clear to slight translucent liquid. » pH: 5 to 6. » DILUENT: Water. » COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with nonionic and cationic.

	SALIENT FEATURES :

	» POLYSOFT-R.700 gives unique surface softness of and internal softness to all kinds of fabrics. » It gives crease resistance and abrasion resistance. » It does not affect the fastness property of dyed goods. » It is easily soluble in water and easy to handle.

	APPLICATION :

	POLYSOFT-R.700 is mostly used in padding method but it is also used in exhaust method. Padding Method : 3 to 7.5gpl. is recommended in the padding bath depending on type of fabric and softness required followed by drying a curing at 150 to 180oC for 45 seconds. Exhaustion Method : 0.3 to 0.5% owf. is recommended for 20 to 30 min. at R.T. followed by drying and curing.

	PACKING: 50Kgs. net in Plastic Containers.

» SOFTNER – EM (Reactive Softener)

	SOFTNER-EM is applied with resin Precondensates and stiffeners to impart smooth supple feel with reasonable degree of water repellency, unique handle and high air permeability. SOFTNER-EM can improve the mechanical properties of fabrics, improves crease recovery and abrasion resistance of the fabrics. Besides this, the treatment is durable to wash. SOFTNER-EM is miscible and stable in finishing liquors and can be mixed with all types of finishing agents. SOFTNER-EM being white in colour, gives no staining property and can be used even for white fabric. SOFTNER-EM can also be easily applied on dyed fabric without change in colour. It may even slightly be used on nylon, coton, viscose or its blends with polyester or wool or 100% polyester, with or without the use of resin precondensates.

	GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS :

	» APPEARANCE: Milky white viscose flowing paste. » SOLUBILITY: Miscible in water. » pH: 6.5 to 7

	SALIENT FEATURES :

	» Excellent softening effect. » Improved abrasion resistance. » Permanent water Repellency.

	APPLICATION :

	SOFTNER-EM is normally mixed with resins, stiffeners etc., and then applied to the fabric, followed by high temperature shock curing. The amount applied can be 5g/l to 20g/l depending on the finish and the effect desired. For high softening effect the method of application could be, to soak the material in the liquor, then pad it and finally dry and cure the fabric. To get good water repellency, the temperature of curing should be at least 1600C and the time of curing could be prolonged to 3 to 5 minutes. With resin finish SOFTNER-EM can be shock cured at 1900C on the stenter.

	STORAGE STABILITY :

	Good at normal room temperature. SOFTNER-EM is thus a good softening agent giving water repellent effect on cloth and could enhance crease recovery of resin treated cloth, as well as reduce abrasion loss due to resin treatment. It can be applied to Viscose / Cotton or its blends with Polyester or Wool to give excellent finishing qualities.

» POLYETHYLENE – PE (Polyethylene Emulsion)

	POLYETHYLENE-PE is a specially developed softener to improve the abrasion resistance and tear strength of all fibres. It is recommended specifically in conjunction with wash-n-wear crease resistant and shrink resistant finishes on cotton, linen, rayon and their blends with synthetic fibres.

	GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS :

	» APPEARANCE: Off white translucent emulsion. » IONIC NATURE: Non Ionic. » SOLUBILITY: Readily dispersible in water. » pH: 7 – 9. » COMPATIBILITY: It can be used together with methylolated resins as well as other finishing chemicals encountered in textile finishing.

	APPLICATION :

	POLYETHYLENE-PE is suggested to be used @ 10 – 20gpl. conc. in conjunction with methylolated pre-condensates and softeners. Being non-ionic in nature it is compatible with anionic and cationic reagents. It can be readily mixed in bath preparation at desired concentration. It is non chlorine retentive and does not give any yellowing.

» POLYMER – KV (Cross-linking Agent)

	POLYMER-KV is an ideal cross-linking agent for shockcure finish process. It is based on DMDHEU with built in catalyst and fibre protecting system and it gives an effective crease recovery performance.

	GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS :

	» APPEARANCE: Pale yellow clear liquid. » COMPATIBILITY: Good with usual resin finishing chemicals. They should be stable at pH 4. Pretrials necessary with new products. » pH Value: 3.5 – 4 » SOLUBILITY: Readily soluble in water. » CONSTITUTION: Based on Dimethylol Dihydroxy ethylene used with built in Catalyst.

	SALIENT FEATURES :

	» Non-yellowing tendency. » Imparts stiffness to synthetic fibres. » No adverse effects on cellulosics. » No tendency to thermomigration. » No significant effect on light fastness or shade change.

	APPLICATION :

	» Synthetic fabric with resilent stiff finish : 10 – 15g/l. Pad for 80% pickup and cure at 180°C for 45 seconds. » Polyester / cellulosic blends Suiting: 50 – 60g/l Shirting: 50 – 60g/l Pad to 60% pickup and cure at 180°C for 45 seconds. » 100% cellulosics wash-n-wear finish 1) Pad to 70% pickup dry at 120°C and cure at 150°C for 1min. or 2) Pad and shock cure at 180°C for 45 seconds or 190°C for 30 seconds without drying.
