Application Details

WACKER® FINISH WR 210 is suitable for the formulation of micro emulsions and macro emulsions. WACKER® FINISH WR 210 can be utilized as the active substance in softener emulsions or in combination with other components, e.g. paraffin waxes, organic softeners, etc. Compatibility of the components has to be checked in each individual case. When applied under normal conditions as part of a softener formulation, WACKER® FINISH WR 210 has no effect on the whiteness. In fact, it has no perceptible influence on the color or color fastness of textiles and fibers in general.

Processing

  • WACKER® FINISH WR 210 can be applied neat, from solution, or emulsion. Suitable solvents are aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, higher alcohols, and ketones.
  • Most textile processes are water based. Hence WACKER® FINISH WR 210 is mainly applied from emulsion. Emulsions prepared of WACKER® FINISH WR 210 are diluted to the optimum concentration for the specific fabric. Application can be done either by padding or exhaustion method.
