WACKER® FINISH WR 1200 is a reactive "functional silicone fluid". Application: WACKER® FINISH WR 1200 is particularly suitable as active substance in softener formulations for the impregnation of PES-fibers and PES-textiles. WACKER® FINISH WR 1200 imparts a very soft, drapable, and elastic touch to woven and knitted fabrics. WACKER® FINISH WR 1200 is considered to be the best softening agent for PES and other synthetic fibres. WACKER® FINISH WR 1200 improves the wash-and wear properties and the crease recovery angle, sewability and tear strength and reduces abrasion loss. The effects are fast to washing and dry cleaning. WACKER® FINISH WR 1200 has only little effect on the degree of whiteness in a softener formulation. As a rule no adverse effect on the shade or color fastness properties of colored goods is observed. As part of formulations used as fill fibre finish WACKER® FINISH WR 1200 imparts excellent slickness and resilience to the fibre. Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
