- Features
CATION SF-75PA has the following features: ·
- Imparts excellent softness to various textiles such as cotton and polyester fabrics.
- Slightly lowers water absorbency of textiles after a treatment with the softener.
- Imparts an antistatic property to synthetic fiber textiles.
- Capable of producing a highly-concentrated softener.
- Has excellent biodegradability compared with quaternary ammonium salt type softening base material agent (e.g. distearyldimethylammonium chloride).

- Application Methods
1. Caution Before Use
- CATION SF-75PA becomes a paste or turbidity under cold conditions. Using it in an unchanged condition may vary in quality by compositional separation and may not exert desirable performance. In these cases, CATION SF-75PA should be heated to 65 °C or lower with warm water, warm air or steam and mixed uniformly before use. Never heat directly with fire.
2. Preparation Method of Softener
- CATION SF-75PA 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).
