SF-3830

SF 3830 is a medium viscosity reactive amino-functional silicone fluid optimized to impart good softness to various fabrics. It offers a durable, soft, grabby hand to a broad range of woven and nonwoven fabrics.

Physical Properties:

Silicone content	100%
Viscosity @ 25o C, cst	1500 – 2500
1500 – 2500	Translucent
Refractive index @ 25oC	1.403 – 1.407
Amine equivalent, meq/gm	0.30 – 0.35

Application:

SF 3830 has proven to be suitable for softening cotton, silk, wool, polyester, PV blends, cotton fabrics, and acrylics. It offers durable softening and enhances luster. It can be emulsified into a durable microemulsion. It is a low-yellowing product and requires no catalyst.

Typical Emulsion Formulation:

SF3830	20 Parts
TDA 6 mole	10 Parts
Butyl Carbitol	3 Parts
Acetic Acid	0.6 Part
Water	66.4 Parts

Emulsification:

1. Charge SF3830 into the reactor. Mix for 10 min.
2. Add Butyl carbitol mix and TDA6 mix for 20 min.
3. Add acetic acid viscous grease will form. Mix for 20 min.
4. Add water at a slow and constant speed @ 60 min.

The clear emulsion will start forming.

Storage:

SF 3830 can be stored for approx. Twelve months at temperatures below 50°C.

Packaging:

50 kg and 200 kg drum
