Application Details

Processing

  • WACKER FINISH CT 95 E gives permanent effects even without the addition of a catalyst. Specific curing conditions need not be adhered to if no resins are used.
  • WACKER® FINISH CT 95 E can be applied either by padding or by the exhaust method but the finishing liquors should not be subjected to high shear as this might cause instability.
  • 5 - 30 g/l WACKER FINISH CT 95 E are recommended for the pad method. For the exhaust method 1 - 3 %, relative to the weight of goods are adequate and the treatment should be carried out at 40 - 50 °C for 15 - 20 minutes. The pH of the liquor should not exceed pH 5. It may need to be adjusted with acetic acid.
  • WACKER® FINISH CT 95 E can be applied either alone or together with resins and other finishing agents.
  • If WACKER® FINISH CT 95 E is used together with crosslinking agents and other additives, it should be added, in dilute form, after all the other products. (This recommendation applies generally to the processing of all polysiloxanes).
  • Higher crease recovery angles and lower abrasion values can be obtained in resin finishes by using WACKER® FINISH CT 95 E. A wide range of händles can be obtained by combining WACKER® FINISH CT 95 E with conventional softening agents and other additives.
