LK-HS 9805
Hydrophilic Silicone Fluids
Introduction:
Introducing LK-HS 9805 for textiles, providing a smooth, slippery touch while enhancing water absorption and delivering a bulky, fluffy feel. This is an innovative and highly effective textile softening agent, developed using linear [AB]n silicone copolymer/block silicone technology. The molecules also include amino or quat functionalities, enabling us to customize surface affinity and bulky texture as a softener for textile. Additionally, polyether blocks are incorporated to enhance hydrophilicity.
Process: Padding / Exhaust
LK-HS 9805 textile softener seamlessly combines a voluminous and bulky feel with a smooth drape or silky softness and hydrophilic properties, making it ideal for towels and other textiles where water absorption is crucial. The processing advantages of our softeners include easily emulsifiable, water dispersibility or dilutability, along with shear and alkaline stability, even at low dosages.
Key Features:
- It gives the fabric a slippery, bulky, and fluffy texture while maintaining good hydrophilicity.
- Low yellowing, high shear and alkaline stability.
- It can be used in conjunction with other bath finishing additives in a single treatment.
- Superior durability against multiple laundry wash.
