Functionality and soft handle for all kinds of fibres, application by the exhaust and padding method.
Functionality
Softycon ASH improves the hydrophilicity and thus the wearing comfort. Excellent moisture absorption even after several laundry cycles.
Soft handle/performance
Softycon ASH gives the "desired and typical silicone handle": Very soft and flowing with surface smoothness and good elastic resilience.
Improved processing
Softycon ASH improves the sewability.
Process reliability
Softycon ASH has a high pH stability, this means it is stable in alkaline liquors up to pH 10 and in acidic liquors down to pH 3.
Softycon ASH is stable to shearing forces, even at increased temperatures.
In extreme cases, strong shearing forces can cause conventional emulsions to separate and this leads to dreaded silicone stains.
The application of the microemulsion Softycon ASH stands for safe application with high shearing forces.
Softycon ASH has no influence on the degree of whiteness, colour shade or fastness.
Flexibility in application
Softycon ASH can be applied by the exhaust and padding method.
Problem-free processing
Overdyeing is possible, a time consuming stripping of the finish will not be necessary.
