VINASIL ME CONC is stable to hard water and acids in normal industrial concentrations. Remaining alkali quantities as well as pH-value fluctuations of the plant water impair the liquor stability. We recommend to carry out compatibility trials before mixing various products. The product is very sensitive to frost; temperatures around the freezing point cause irreversible changes. VINASIL ME CONC is sensitive to temperatures above 40oC.
DILUTION
VINASIL ME CONC can be diluted with cold water to any ratio; when dealing with alkaline plant water (permutit water) we recommend to adjust the pH-value to 5 – 5.5 before adding the product.
APPLICATION
VINASIL ME CONC is a textile softener for padding mangle application with the following properties: Soft core, naturally flowing touch through. Best penetration of the active substances, Improvement of the sewability, Improvement of the tearing and abrasion resistance within the scope of resin finishing, Improvement of the wash and wear properties of easy-care finished cellulose textiles, Positive influence on the elastic recovery of knitwear, Good washing permanence, Non-yellowing to a large extent under normal drying and fixation conditions. VINASIL ME CONC is excellently suitable for finishing wovens and knits of cellulose fibres, wool and synthetic fibres as well as their blends. The product is normally applied at room temperature on the padding mangle.
RECIPE PROPOSALS
The application amounts depend on the existing material and the desired effects. Padding mangle procedure: 5.0 – 40.0 g/l VINASIL ME CONC pH approx. 5.0 Liquor pickup: 70 – 80%
