- TEXICRYL® 13-218 has been developed for use in surface bonding and through-bonding of synthetic fiber wadding. It will effectively prevent penetration of the fibers through the cover fabric, preserve the high loft of the wadding and facilitate handling during the making-up process. It has excellent heat and light-stability, as well as good wash and dry-clean solvent resistance.
- TEXICRYL® 13-218 is widely used as a high-loft non-woven fabric binder. Drying and Curing Cure of emulsion binders is dependent on the polymer type, catalyst concentration, temperature and time.
- TEXICRYL® 13-218 is supplied ready-catalyzed and, after drying, must be cured for 2-3 minutes at 140°C. It is recommended that synthetic fiber waddings processed with TEXICRYL® 13-218 be dried and cured in hotair ovens with efficient air movement to ensure removal of water vapor during the drying phase. When dried and cured under these conditions, TEXICRYL® 13-218 will confer dry-clean resistance, washfastness and good recovery from compression. TEXICRYL® 13-218 has an indefinite pot life at normal spray-bonding concentrations (10-25% solids content).
- TEXICRYL® 13-218 has a non-detectable formaldehyde level according to Oeko-Tex® testing, ISO 14184-1 2011.
