amino-siloxane based softener

Field of application

Used for the permanent, elastic finishing of woven, knitted and terry fabrics. For all kind of fabrics, such as cotton, viscose, wool, synthetic fibers and mixtures thereof.

Properties

• good running properties in the foulard process
  
• soft and smooth flowing handle
  
• improved sewing properties
  
• increased elastic reformatting properties in knitted fabrics
• especially suited for OE yarns
• improved technological features (crease recovery, abrasion resistance, edge tearing resistance) on high grade finishing goods
• no yellowing

Application

Ebosoft S-GT can be applied in the foulard process. Combination with high-grade finish resins, catalysts as well as optical brighteners are possible. Each combination has to be analyzed individually. Ebosoft S-GT is self-crosslinking therefore there is no need to use traditional cross-linking catalysts. Wash and dry-clean resistance are achieved by simple drying.
