Application Details
  • LIOSIL® FC 320 E is combined with conventional fabric softeners and improves the properties of the fabric softeners. LIOSIL® FC 320 E is easy to mix with fabric softeners.
  • Due to the selected functionality of LIOSIL® FC 320 E, the hydrophilicity of the fabrics are improved significantly, by which the water absorbency is increased.
  • LIOSIL® FC 320 E improves the softening efficacy of fabric softeners and the fabrics get a significant softer and pleasant touch.

Processing:

Preferably LIOSIL® FC 320 E is mixed into the fabric softener at the end of the formulation process by gently stirring. Example for a fabric softener with LIOSIL® FC 320 E:

  • 20.0 parts esterquat, e.g. Stepantex VK 90 (50°C) are poured slowly into
  • 77.6 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
  • 2 parts of s LIOSIL® FC 320 E are mixed while stirring.

Dosage recommendation: Approx. 1 - 3 % LIOSIL® FC 320 E in the fabric softener formulation The dosage of LIOSIL® FC 320 E in the fabric softener depends on the expected effects. The level of organic softener can be reduced in favor of LIOSIL® FC 320 E.
