| An economical modified amino fluid that yields an extremely soft hand with no shade change most notably yellowing due to normal textile processes. Improves tear strength. Gives better wrinkle recovery and improved fabric elasticity. Application: WACKER® AF 36 is particularly suitable as an active substance in non-yellowing softener formulations for the impregnation of fibers and textiles. WACKER® AF 36 imparts a very soft and drapable handle to woven and knitted fabrics. WACKER® AF 36 improves the wash-and-wear properties and the crease recovery angle, sewability and tear strength and reduces abrasion loss. The effects are fast to washing and dry cleaning. WACKER® AF 36 has no effect on the degree of white in a softener formulation when usual application conditions are adhered to. As a rule no adverse effect on the shade or color fastness properties of colored goods is observed. Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
