EXTRAGUARD F-48

1 of 1 products in this brand
EXTRAGUARD F-48 finish is a highly concentrated, non-flammable fluoropolymer finish that imparts excellent water and oil repellency properties to most types of fabrics, either natural or synthetic. EXTRAGUARD F-48 is also recommended for use on cotton, and non-woven fabrics. EXTRAGUARD F-48 is a low temperature cure, soft hand grade especially recommended for polypropylene, polyethylene, or other fibers that require low curing temperatures. EXTRAGUARD F-48 finish will withstand numerous laundry and dry cleaning cycles while maintaining a high level of water and oil repellency. Use with confidence, EXTRAGUARD F-48 generally does not adversely affect crockfastness, wash fastness, or the shade of dyed goods.

Application

Application is the same as for other general finishing agents. Add water to dilute, disperse, prepare desired treating bath and pad or dip the materials. Intermediate drying and curing or final setting follow as usual. For best results, fabrics to be treated should be free of residual sizes, processing lubricants, alkalies, and other impurities that can interfere with penetration or adversely affect pad bath stability. Thorough rinsing after scouring or dyeing is to eliminate residual detergents and surfactants that may cause undesired wetting effects after curing. EXTRAGUARD F-48 can be used alone or in conjunction with suitable extenders. Other finishing agents such as softeners, wetting and anti static agents should be carefully selected and thoroughly tested before use since many such products have a detrimental effect on repellency.
