Textile enhancer IOTA NT
Description
IOTA NT textile enhancer is a patented, quat
functional silicone copolymer with a repeating block structure that combines
several chemical entities in one linear molecule. Close to self-emulsifiable, IOTA
NT textile enhancer can be applied by spray but is particularly well suited for
exhaust applications, where its outstanding emulsion stability allows it to
deliver full benefits to the end user.
IOTA NT textile enhancer is a new textile
auxiliary agent designed to deliver a hydrophilic, voluminous, silky hand to
all types of fabrics at lower use levels than other products and, very
significantly, to retain these performance attributes through several home
laundry cycles.
Key Features
and Benefits
1. Combines a silky feel and a rich, bulky hand
for a unique and unusually powerful softness effect
2. Does not alter the hydrophilic nature of
cotton and cotton blends
3. Increases the hydrophilicity of synthetics
4. Provides stretch recovery with a significant
elastomeric effect particularly on knits
5. Gives in depth softness
6. Is effective on virtually all types of fibers
7. Provides softness and durability effects that
are fast to at least ten home laundry washes, and that are particularly
pronounced with cellulosic fibers.
8. Self-emulsifiable; can generate
emulsions that possess extreme shear and pH stability (acid and alkaline)
9. Causes virtually no yellowing of white or
light shade goods
10. Does not affect the color of dark fabrics
11. Odorless.

Applications
IOTA NT textile enhancer is a textile
auxiliary agent that may add significant value to all types of knit and woven
fabrics. IOTA NT textile enhancer is particularly effective on knits where it
provides the typical silicone softener effects and also increases their stretch
recovery. IOTA NT textile enhancer is effective on woven fabrics and is
compatible with durable press resin and fluorocarbon soil release finishes.
IOTA NT textile enhancer is normally applied
as a water emulsion. Due to its polar nature, IOTA NT textile enhancer can be
easily emulsified using simple mixing devices and containers widely available
throughout the industry. There is no need for homogenization or colloid
milling.
Product
Safety, Handling and Storage
Store in original container
protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away
from incompatible materials and food and drink. Store locked up. Keep container
tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened
must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in
unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination.
