Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Product Performance

The industry shift to lower basis weight nonwovens has caused rewet issues in hygiene applications. This is a key issue in hygiene finishes since rewet is a critical property to keep the skin dry and prevent irritation and leakage. Cirrasol 920XR shows extremely low rewet compared to a competitive finish.

Croda Cirrasol 920XR Product Performance - 1

The filters papers after a rewet test using a competitive finish are almost completely saturated (indicating high rewet). Cirrasol 920XR shows slight spotting on the filter papers (indicating low rewet). The liquid insult (0.9% NaCl) was dyed blue for better visibility.

When compared to the leading fiber finishes in the market in a benchmark study, Cirrasol 920XR outperformed the competition in rewet amount. For the best performing finish in a specific application, please refer to the chart below:

Technical Details & Test Data

Low Cytotoxicity Profile

Cirrasol 920XR was sent to an outside lab for an in-vitro elution test for cytotoxicity using an ISO method. Cytotoxicity of stained cultures was assessed according to the following grading system:

 

0 no cells damaged Sample Eluate Dilution  
1 < 20% cells damaged Cirrasol 910XS 1/16 0
2 20 - 50% cells damaged   1/8 0
3 50 - 70% cells damaged   1/4 0
4 > 70% cells damaged   1/2
