Hydrophilic silicone oil RUISOFT 8062
Product Description
RUISOFT 8062 is modified silicone copolymer,with epoxide, amino and polyether functional groups and other traditional chemical entities. RUISOFT 8062 is an efficient hydrophilic silicone softener for all kinds of fabrics. RUISOFT 8062 delivers excellent air permeability, hydrophilicity, and anti-static properties, especially it imparts anti-pilling and anti-fuzzing properties to synthetic fibers. RUISOFT 8062 also has good re-dyeing ability, after treatment, the fabric can be dyed directly without getting rid of silicone oil.
Features and Advantages
v Superior hydrophilicity
v No yellowing change
v Self emulsify
v Easy to use
v Good re-dying ability
v High active content
v Good compatibility

Application
As a textile auxiliary agent, RUISOFT 8062 can be used for a wide range of fabrics, such as 100%cotton, polyester/cotton blends, wool, rayon and acrylic wovens, nonwovens and knits.
RUISOFT 8062 should be emulsified before applying in textile finish process. It can be self-emulsified, so without emulsifier, the normal equipment will meet the requirement. Also, the formulations based on RUISOFT 8062 can be easily diluted in any proportion of cold water. The usual diluted ratio is 1:5-8.

Salt resistant stability
To realize the salt resistant stability test we use 10g/l Na2SO4 and 20g/l RUISOFT 8062 in 200ml bath. The following pictures are the results of the test.

Shear resistant stability
To realize the shear resistant stability test we use 0.5g/l Na2CO3, 1g/l Na2SO4, 0.1g/l reactive dye and 50g/l RUISOFT 8062 in 200ml bath. The stirring speed is 2000r/min,and the temperature is 50℃. The following pictures are results of the test.
Before | After | Result |
|
| No silicone oil droplets or silicone residue are observed |
Ion compatibility
To realize the ion compatibility test we use 2g/l fluorescent whitening agent and 50g/l RUISOFT 8062 in 200ml bath. The following pictures are the results of the test.
