Vinasil FP 70
VINASIL FP 70 is a hydrophilic silicone softener which imparts a durable handle without impairing the water
absorbency of treated textiles unlike traditional amino functional silicone softeners.
The product is especially recommended for application to cotton towel where it will produce a soft, non-yellowing,
durable handle without affecting the rewetting properties of the material.
VINASIL FP 70 is also suitable for other natural and blended woven and knitted fabrics such as 100% knitted cotton
and 65/35 polyester/cotton blends etc.

APPLICATION
VINASIL FP 70 can be applied by either Padding or Exhaustion processes.
Application quantities will vary depending on the substrate characteristics
and the handle required. General guidelines are as follows:
Exhaust Application:
Apply 0.2.0% to 4.0% VINASIL FP 70 on weight of goods
Set the bath pH at 5.0. Run for 30 – 40 minutes at 40 – 45C.
It is recommended that the softening operation is carried out in a fresh
rinse bath following dyeing at the lowest practical liquor to material ratio.
VINASIL FP 70 can be used to revive readymade garments by treating with.
02% – 3.0% on weight of goods using a 10:1 liquor ratio at 40◦C for
20 minutes at pH 5.0. The fabric is then hydro extracted and tumbles dried.
Pad Application:
For pad application the VINASIL FP 70 is pre-diluted and added
to the premix tank as required. Apply 1 – 30 gm/litre for continuous
padding processes at 100% pick-up, and then dry to cure the finish.
Additional benefits include
Readily dispersible in cold or warm water.
Produces a smooth, soft, natural handle.
Can be applied by exhaust or pad techniques.
Excellent non-yellowing properties, suitable for use on optically
brightened materials.
Increases elastic resilience of knitted fabrics.
Does not cause the fabric to become hydrophobic and therefore does not
affect the rewetting properties of the textile.
Improves ‘wash and wear’ effects and sewing properties.
Stable in Jet dyeing machines.
