WETSOFT® CTA

Functions:Fabric Softener, Fiber Softener
Chemical Family:Silicones, Polyethers
End Uses:Leather, Textiles
Features:Non-Yellowing, Easy To Use, Water Soluble

WETSOFT® CTA is a self-dispersible aminofunctional silicone fluid with polyether groups. It can be applied alone in diluted form or blended with organic softeners to impart hydrophilic properties to fibers and textiles. However, a compatibility test is recommended before mixing with organic softeners.

WETSOFT® NE 430

Functions:Fabric Softener
Chemical Family:Silicones
End Uses:Leather, Textiles
Applicable Processes:Fabric Softeners Manufacturing
Features:Smoothness, Good Wetting Properties, Wash Resistance, Water Soluble

WETSOFT® NE 430 is a nonionic macroemulsion concentrate of a self-dispersing hydrophilic silicone fluid. It is used for the hydrophilic treatment of fibers and textiles of all kinds. On hydrophilic substrates such as cellulosics, the hydrophilic properties are usually not affected, while hydrophobic substrates such as polyesters typically experience a clear improvement in wetting properties.

WETSOFT® NE 500

Functions:Fiber Softener
Chemical Family:Silicones
End Uses:Textiles
Applicable Processes:Fiber Treatment, Fabric Softeners Manufacturing
Features:Smoothness, Good Wetting Properties, Water Soluble

WETSOFT® NE 500 is a nonionic, hydrophilic emulsion concentrate that forms a stable semi-macroemulsion upon simple 1:1 dilution with cold water. It is used for the hydrophilic treatment of all kinds of fibers and textiles. WETSOFT® NE 500 imparts a pleasant, soft, and supple hand to woven and knitted fabrics, as well as towels. Additionally, finishing with WETSOFT® NE 500 improves the moisture management of the treated textiles.

WETSOFT® NE 580

Functions:Fabric Softener
Chemical Family:Silicones
End Uses:Leather, Textiles
Features:Wash Resistance, Alkali Resistant, Excellent Heat Stability, Wide pH Range, Water Soluble

WETSOFT® NE 580 is a predominantly nonionic microemulsion concentrate of a hydrophilic silicone fluid. It is used for the hydrophilic treatment of fibers and textiles of all kinds. On hydrophilic substrates such as cellulosics, the hydrophilic properties are usually not affected, while hydrophobic substrates such as polyesters typically experience a clear improvement in wetting properties. WETSOFT® NE 580 provides woven goods and knitwear with a silky soft, supple, and smooth hand.

WETSOFT® NE 810

Chemical Family:Amines, Silicones, Polyethers
End Uses:Leather, Textiles
Applicable Processes:Fabric Softeners Manufacturing
