- Application Methods
1. Caution Before Use
- CATION SF-10 becomes a paste or solid under cold conditions. This product may separate over time. In these cases, CATION SF-10 should be heated to below 60°C with warm water or warm air, and dissolved until it is transparent before use. Never heat directly with fire or steam.
2. Preparation Method of Softener ·
- CATION SF-10 is used as a base material for household fabric softeners. An example of a preparation method for household fabric softeners is shown below.
- This product should be gradually added to an aqueous solution of an emulsifier while stirring between 50°C and 60°C to emulsify this product completely.
- The optimal amount of this product depends on whether a high-concentration type softener or a low-concentration type softener is to be prepared. Determine the optimal amount by referring to Examples of Applications on page 5.
- Nonionic surfactants are suitable as an emulsifier; these include NAROACTY CL-200 (poly- oxyethylene alkyl ether, a Sanyo Chemical product).
