PROPERTIES & USES:

  1. Special smooth and soft handle.
  2. Good hydrophilic and soil release properties.
  3. AVCO ELASTOSIL JWH improves dimensional stability of knits.
  4. AVCO ELASTOSIL JWH improves sew-ability of treated fabrics.
  5. AVCO ELASTOSIL JWH improves wash and wear properties.
  6. Non yellowing on white yarns and fabrics, even when used at curing conditions.
  7. Suitable for application in jets, spraying machines and by padding process.
  8. Specially suitable for open-end yarns.
  9. Imparts good re-wetability to terry towels.
  10. Used for all types of fibres such as:
    viscose, wool, cotton, polyester, acrylic, polyamide and all kinds of blends.
  11. Imparts anti-static properties to synthetic fibres.
  12. Can be used together with nonionic and cationic hydrophilic softeners, and other
    finishing agents such as resins.

APPLICATION:

AVCO ELASTOSIL JWH can be easily diluted with water to any needed application concentration. The amount of AVCO ELASTOSIL JWH on the treated textile is determined by the required effect.

For improved tailoring and sewability 1-3% is sufficient. If additional softening effect is required, amount of 2-4% is recommended.

TYPICAL RECIPES:
  1. Exhaustion method:

    1-3% AVCO ELASTOSIL JWH is applied in a fresh bath at pH of 5-6.
    Temperature – 40° C
    Time- 20-30 minutes
    pH – 5-6 (adjust with acetic acid)

  2. Padding method:

    Depending on the material and the effect required, apply 10-30 g/l AVCO ELASTOSIL JWH. Fixation is not needed
