– Confers smooth, supple handle effects

– Results in wash-resistant sewability and smoothing effects

– Maintains colour when gentle home laundering

– Highly effective with low application quantities

– Suitable for pad or exhaust processes

– Low-foaming, suitable for applications in machines with high liquor turbulence (jet

suitable)

– Resistant to yellowing

– Highly non-volatile

– Not compatible with optical brighteners

– Suitable for dyed or white goods

– Run preliminary trials with anionic products

APPLICATION

Sewing damage, especially in knitted goods are the most expensive source of errors, since they will only appear at the end of the value-added chain of the textile production and are irreversible. They can be easily avoided though by the smoothing and lubricating effects of WAX-4211.

WAX-4211 confers very good sewability properties to wovens and knit goods of all fibre types . WAX-4211 dstinctly redues the needle penetration power , thus avoiding irreversible loop damage . The wash-resistant handle effects are soft , supple and smooth .

Dilute the product with cold water (weakly acid PH value ) and add it to the prepared liquor

Pad process

10 – 30 g/l WAX-4211

Exhaust method

2 -4 %  WAX-4211  – on weight of fabric –

Soften at PH 5.5-6.5 for 10-20 min at 40°C- 50°C

If simultaneously applied with anionic products precipitations may arise . For safety reasons always run preliminary trials

We advise against a combined water-repellent finish . The additional use of WAX-4211 may significantly impair the water repellency

 

STORAGE:  

125KG plastic drum, room temperature.

 

ATTENTION

The above recommendations are based on comprehensive studies and experience made in practical finishing.The user should test for himself whether the product and the application are suited for his very special purposes.
