Lubricating Specialty For Improving Sewing Characteristics Of Fabrics.
| Properties |
| Composition |
System containing fatty chain compounds
with polar functional groups. |
| Appearance |
Slightly viscous thin paste. |
| Ionicity |
Cationic |
Salient Features :
- Imparts lubricity to fiber surface, resulting very high improvements
in sewability of fabrics.
- Effectively reduces friction at the needle tip causing lesser
heat generation. The thermal damage at the stitch in modern high-speed
machines is eliminated especially for thermoplastic fibers.
- Unlike normal organic or amino-functional silicone based softeners,
it does not cause any significant yellowing.
- Imparts pleasant soft feel to the goods.
- Free from unpleasant odors.
- Applicable by exhaustion or by padding techniques.
