Formulation and process

RESIL C845 is a base oil easily emulsifiable in micro or macro emulsions, intended for fabric softening and lubrication treatment of textiles. Emulsification is easy by using ethoxylated fatty alcohol of type C13[EO] 6 as a surfactant.

Example of a micro emulsion formulation by inversion:

RESIL C845	20%
Glacial acetic acid	0.32%
Surfactant C1 3 (EO) 6	8%
Water	to 100%

 

Mix the oil RESIL C845 with the surfactant and the acid and gradually add water. The application can be done either by padding or by exhaustion. A silicone deposit of between 0.3% to 1%.

• Imparts an extremely soft, full, and silky hand to fabrics,
• Provides outstanding lubrication of the textile’s components (threads, fibers)
• Improves the fabric’s drape characteristics,
• Low yellowing,
• Enhances elasticity and crease removal after washing.

Packaging:

RESIL C845 is available in 200kg plastics drums on a pallet of 800kg.

Storage and shelf life:

When stored in its original unopened packaging at a temperature of 2°C ~ 30°C, RESIL C845 may be stored for up to 12 months from its date of manufacture (expiry date). Comply with the storage instructions and expiry date marked on the packaging. Past this date, Bluestar Silicones no longer guarantees that the product meets the sales specifications.
