WACKER Amino Silicone Oil Functional Silicone Fluid Smooth Feel WR1300 CN For Cotton Fabrics And Knitware

Characteristics:

WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN is a reactive aminoethyl/aminopropyl-functional polydimethylsiloxane.

Applications:

WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN is particularly suitable as an active substance in softener formulations for the impregnation of fibers and textiles. WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN imparts a very soft, drapable, and elastic handle to woven and knitted fabrics. WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN is considered to be the best softening agent for cotton fabrics and knitware made of cotton or cotton/PES blends . WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN improves the wash- and-wear properties and the crease recovery angle, sewability and tear strength and reduces abrasion loss. The effects are fast to washing and dry cleaning.

WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN has very little effect on the degree of whiteness in a softener formulation under usual application conditions. As a rule, no adverse effect on the shade or colour fastness of coloured goods is observed.

As a component of formulations for finishing fibrefill. WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN imparts excellent slickness and resilience to the fibre.

Processing:

WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN can be applied neat, from solution, or emulsion. Suitable solvents are aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, higher alcohols, and ketones.

Most textile processes are water-based. Hence WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN is mainly applied from emulsion. WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN is highly suitable for the formulation of microemulsions and macroemulsions.

WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN can be used as sole active substance in softener emulsions or in combination with other  components,e.g.paraffines, esters of fatty acids, etc. Compatibility of the components should be checked in each individual case.

EMULSIFIER 1300 and STABILIZER 1300 allow a stable microemulsion based on WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN to be prepared with the minimum of shear force.

Emulsions of WACKER ® FINISH WR 1300 CN are diluted to the optimum concentration for the specific fabric. They are applied by padding or exhaustion.
