NESTOSIL 33 | Hydrophilic Silicone Softener

• Product Information

  NESTOSIL 33 is a macro emulsion of new generation silicone copolymer having reactive groups in the chain. It imparts excellent hydrophilic nature especially in all types of fabrics, natural as well as synthetic.

   

• Key Features & Benefits

  NESTOSIL 33 is suitable for knit processing in different finishing machines, especially in high speed & high shear machines, for broad range of cotton, blends, polyester and viscose fabrics. Excellent stability of NESTOSIL 33 is not confined to any textile finishing process. Super exhaustibility of NESTOSIL 33 also imparts distinguished touch on all types of woven & knit fabrics. It has excellent softening effect on enzyme-washed fabrics

   

• Application

  Fabric     :   Knit, woven & terry towel 

  Type       :   Cotton, polyester, viscose, Lycra & their blends 

  Machine :   Padding & exhaust including Jet-dyeing at 1:6 MLR with variable pH 4-10 and hard water up to 3000 ppm 

  NESTOSIL 33 can be applied by padding method or by exhaust method. 

  For the exhaust method, 1-3% NESTOSIL 33 relative to the weight of goods, are adequate and the treatment should be carried out at 35-45° C for 15-20 minutes. The pH of the liquor should not exceed pH 6 for better exhaustion though it is stable at higher pH also. It may need to be adjusted with acetic acid. 

  NESTOSIL 33 has almost no effect on the degree of whiteness of the treated fabric when usual application conditions are adhered to. Generally, no adverse effect on the shade or colour fastness properties of coloured goods is observed. 

  For white fabric processing, before addition of NESTOSIL 33, the fabric should be free from Optical brightener.

   

  For padding, 10-50 g/l NESTOSIL 33 is recommended. 

  NESTOSIL 33 can be applied either alone or together with cationic and other finishing agents. 

  A wide range of touches can be obtained by combining NESTOSIL 33 with conventional softening agents and other additives. It is advised to check the compatibility of NESTOSIL 33 against other auxiliary chemicals before going for any bulk plant stage processing. Especially for any anionic auxiliaries, special care should be taken & compatibility must be checked always.
