LK-SD 805 H
Self-dispersing Hydrophilic Silicone Fluids
Introduction:
Introducing LK-SD 805 H, a textile silicone softener that provides a soft, smooth touch while enhancing water absorption and delivering a fluffy feel. Developed with advanced linear [AB]n block silicone copolymer technology, it features amino functionalities that give fabrics a soft surface and smooth texture. Its added polyether blocks significantly improve water-wicking properties, making it an ideal finishing solution for a wide range of fabrics,
Process: Padding, Exhaust & Jigger
including woven, terry towels, hosiery, knitwear, and yarns. This silicone softener easily disperses in water and can be applied to textiles through padding, exhaustion, or jigger methods. Additional benefits include high stability in alkaline environments, at high temperatures, and under shear forces, while remaining effective at low dosages. Its ability to resist yellowing makes it ideal for white textiles.
Key Features:
- Soft & Silky: Delivers a smooth, silky hand feel to fabrics.
- Enhanced Hydrophilicity: Improves water absorption and moisture wicking.
- Shear & Dilution Stability: Provides superior shear stability and can be used at low dilution dosages.
- Compatibility: Easily blends with other finishing additives.
- Durability: Retains softness and performance through multiple washes.
