Application Details
  • LIOSIL® FC 201 E is combined with conventional fabric softeners.
  • Due to the special composition LIOSIL® FC 201 E is polymerizing to a high molecular polysiloxane while ironing. The fabrics get elastic shape stability and therefore a protection against wrinkles.
  • Even without ironing LIOSIL® FC 201 E improves the softness of fabrics.
  • Additionally LIOSIL® FC 201 E reduces the friction force of the iron and therefore the ironing properties are improved significantly.

Processing

Preferably LIOSIL® FC 201 E is mixed with the fabric softener at the end of fabric softener production by stirring gently. Example for a fabric softener with LIOSIL® FC 201 E:

  • 20.0 parts esterquat, e.g. Stepantex VK 90 (50°C) are poured slowly in
  • 74.6 parts demineralized water (50°C) while stirring until the mixture is homogenous.
  • 0.4 parts CaCl² solution (25%) are added
  • q.s. perfume, dye, preservative are added
  • 5 parts LIOSIL® FC 201 E are mixed while stirring.

Dosage recommendation: Approx. 3 - 9 % LIOSIL® FC 201 E in the fabric softener formulation. The dosage of LIOSIL® FC 201 E in the fabric softener depends on the desired effects. As desired the amount of the organic softener can be reduced with the rising amount of LIOSIL® FC 201 E.
