Athon TX 510 Hydrophilic Agent is a compound based on ethoxylated carboxylic acid.
•Highly recommended for sportswear
•Widely applied in clothing and technical articles to improve hydrophilicity
•Increases the transport of moisture from synthetic fabrics
•Confers excellent antistatic properties to polyester
•Improves anti-dirt properties (soil release) of synthetic fabrics
•Gives synthetic fibers excellent hydrophilicity, moisture transport and anti-static effects, with good resistance to gentle washing processes
•Provides excellent absorbency to synthetic fabrics such as 100% polyester, 100% polyamide and their blends
Athon TX 510 Hydrophilic Agent is specially developed for synthetic fiber finishes, improving the normally low comfort of synthetic-based garments, making it great for sportswear and performance wear, as well as non-wovens and other technical items where absorbency is required. long lasting. Also effective as an anti-dirt finish for polyester fibers and their blends. Due to its high affinity with polyester fibers, Athon TX 510 Hydrophilic Agent forms a hydrophilic protective layer on the surface, preventing dirt from adhering to the fiber, being efficiently removed during washing.
Preparation of prediluted stock solution:
•To decrease viscosity, preheat Athon TX 510 Hydrophilic Agent to 40°C.
•Add 81.10 parts of demineralized water to the clean reactor at 40°C.
•Add 18.75 parts of Athon TX 510 Hydrophilic Agent with moderate agitation.
•Heat up to 50°C and mix until homogenized for approximately 15 minutes.
•Cool with stirring to 35°C.
•Add 0.15 parts of biocide and shake for another 5 minutes until smooth.
Application:
•Foulard (Paddling): 5 to 50 g/L of pre-diluted stock solution with 50% pick-up
•Exhaust or spray: 0.5 to 2.0% of the fabric weight.
Normal drying is enough to obtain the desired effects.
