Rasa Silicone Fluid

Characteristics

RASA SILICONE FLUID is a reactive amino ethyl amino-propyl functional poly dim ethyl siloxane.

Application

RASA SILICONE FLUID is particularly suitable as active substance in softener formulations for the impregnation of fibers and textiles. RASA SILICONE FLUID imparts a very soft drapable and smooth handle to woven and knitted fabrics RASA SILICONE FLUID is considered to be the most excellent softening agent for cotton fabrics and knitwear made of cotton or cotton/PES blends. RASA SILICONE FLUID 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.

Processing

RASA SILICONE FLUID can be applied neat form solution or emulsion suitablre solvents are aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons chlorinated hydrovarbons esters higher alcohols and ketones.

Most textile processes are water based Hence RASA SILICONE FLUID is mainly applied in emulsion form RASA SILICONE FLUID is suitable for the formulation of micro emulsions and macro emulsions.

RASA SILICONE FLUID can be used aas sole active substance in softener emulsions or in combination with other compatibility of the components has to be checked in each individual case.Emulsions of RASA SILICONE FLUID are diluted to the optimum concentration for the specific fabric Application can be done by padding or exhaustion.

These figures are intended as a guide and should not be used in preparing specifications.

RASA SILICONE FLUID has a shelf life of at least 6 months if stored in originally sealed of at least 6 month if stored in originally sealed containers at 250C The “Best use before end” date of each batch is shown on the product label.

If the material is kept beyond the recommended shelf life it is not necessarily unusable but a quality control should be performed on the properties relevant to the application.
