Magnasoft JSS
Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer is a new product that possesses outstanding stability under alkaline conditions and at high temperatures under which conventional amino silicone emulsions separate and cause silicone spots. At lower levels than other products, Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer delivers a soft, silky, full hand feel and a hydrophilic property to various fabrics.
TECHNICAL DATASHEET
Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer is a new product that possesses outstanding stability under alkaline conditions and at high temperatures under which conventional amino silicone emulsions separate and cause silicone spots. At lower levels than other products, Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer delivers a soft, silky, full hand feel and a hydrophilic property to various fabrics.
Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer can be applied to a variety of fabrics to deliver outstanding softness with very little yellowing compared to conventional amino silicones. Dilutions of Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer are extremely shear stable, even at the highly alkaline pH of 14 and at the high temperature of 100°C. Furthermore, its dilutions remain stable in conditions that are often encountered in dyehouses (high-temperature baths).
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Standard hydrophilic finish.
- Silicone softness with virtually no yellowing.
- For all types of cotton and synthetic fabrics.
- A semi-durable, hydrophilic performance.
- Excellent pH and shear stability.
- Easy-to-handle liquid that is dilutable in water with minimal stirring.
- Compatibility with most finishing additives.
- Compatibility with soil-release fluorocarbon finishes.
- Can be readily stripped off of the fabric
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer is a premium enhancer for all types of fabrics: cotton, synthetics and cotton/synthetic blends. Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer can be used effectively on wrinkle-free garments treated with DP resin, and fluorocarbon soil release finishes.
Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer is generally applied as a water dilution and blended into the treatment bath formulation. The water dilutions of Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer have excellent shear stability at high alkaline conditions and high temperatures. Therefore, it is an ideal material of choice and can be used for applications where normal emulsified softeners do not show adequate shear stability. Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer and its dilutions are very stable over a broad pH environment (3–14 pH). Alternative products that require standard emulsification may not tolerate these same pH extremes.
HOW TO APPLY
Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer can be used as received or prediluted simply with water before applying. The optimum treatment will depend on the required softness of the fabric or yarn after dyeing and rinsing. In order to obtain the optimum performance of Magnasoft JSS hydrophilic textile enhancer, it is strongly recommended that the bath be acidified to pH 4-5 with acetic acid, as shown in the examples below.
