Athon TX 440 Formulation Aid is an aqueous polyurethane dispersion used to optimize water and oil repellent fluorocarbon based finishes.
•Short chain aliphatic polyurethane dispersion with functional groups to improve the properties and permanence of fluorocarbon-based finishes on all types of substrates
•Easy dispersion in the treatment bath
•Optimizes the resistance to wet and dry cleaning of fabrics with an oil-repellent finish
•Improves the film-forming properties of fluorocarbons
•Free of solvents, formaldehyde and oxime. Reduces VOC emissions
•Reduced yellowing when overcured or subjected to high temperatures
•Improves compatibility and stability
.Athon TX 440 Formulation Aid is used from 15 to 25% of the total fluorocarbon in the formulation, depending on the type of fiber to be treated. Additions greater than 15 g / L for synthetic fibers or greater than 25 g / L for natural fibers can promote high water repellency and result in a harder feel.
Curing is achieved by treating the substrate at 150-160 ° C for 1 to 2 minutes. It is recommended to carry out the final test after 24 hours of acclimatization to room temperature, when the properties of the treated material must reach the optimum point.
