WACKER® FINISH WR 1300 imparts a very soft, drapable, and elastic touch to woven and knitted fabrics. WACKER® FINISH WR 1300 is considered to be the best softening agent for cotton fabrics and knit ware made of cotton or cotton/PES blends. WACKER® FINISH WR 1300 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.
