WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN Characteristics WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN is a reactive amino ethylamino propylfunctional polydimethylsiloxane. Applications: WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN is particularlysuitable as active substance in softenerformulations for the impregnation of fibers and textiles. WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN imparts a very soft,drapable, and elastic touch to woven and knitted fabrics.WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN is considered to be the best softening agent for cotton fabrics and knit ware made of cotton or cotton/PES blends. WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN improves the wash-and-wear properties and the crease recovery angle, sew ability and tear strength and reduces abrasion loss. The effects are fast to washing and dry cleaning. WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN has only little effect on the degree of white in a softener formulation when usual application conditions are adhered to. As a rule no adverse effect on the shade or colour fastness properties of coloured goods is observed. As part of formulations used as fill fibre finish WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN imparts excellent slickness and resilience to the fibre. Processing WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN 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 waterbased. Hence WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN is mainly applied from emulsion. WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN can be used as sole active substance in softener emulsions or in combination with other components, e.g. paraffines, esters of fatty acids, etc. Compatability of the components has to be checked in each individual case. Emulsions of WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN are diluted to the optimum concentration for the specific fabric. Application can be done by padding or exhaustion. Product data: Appearance:clear to slightly turbid fluid Viscosity:ca. 1000[ [mPa s] Amine Number:0.27ml 1N HCl/g Substanz These figures are intended as a guide and should not be used in preparing specifications. Storage stablity: WACKER ® FINISH WR 301 CN has a shelf life of at least 12 months when stored at 25 °C in the originally sealed containers. The "Best use before end" date of each batch appears on the product label. Storage beyond the date specified on the label does not necessarily mean that the product is no longer usable. In this case however, the properties required for the intended use must be checked for quality assurance reasons.
