Hydrophilic silicone emulsion RUISIL 3053
Product Description
RUISIL 3053 is a highly concentrated emulsion made of block silicone oil. RUISIL RJ-3053 offers excellent hydrophilicity and voluminous hand feel to different textile fiber or fabric at lower usage than general silicone softener. Because of its quaternary function group, therefore, RUISIL 3053 can enhance superior affinity and durability to fabrics than general amino silicone softener.
Features and Advantages
v Good voluminous smooth and soft hand feel
v Excellent hydrophilicity
v Virtually no yellowing
v Excellent shear stability and pH stability
v Good compatibility
v Easy to use

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

Alkali resistant stability
To realize the salt resistant stability test we use 1.2g/l NaOH (pH=12) and 20g/l softener 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 softener in 200ml bath. The stirring speed is 2000r/min,and the temperature is 50℃. The following pictures are the 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 softener in 200ml bath. The following pictures are the results of the test.
