Hydrophilic silicone emulsion RUISIL AES30
Product Description
RUISIL AES 30 is a linear ternary silicone copolymer emulsion. It can deliver super hydrophilic and soft hand feel to cotton and T/C fabric,which cannot be obtained with traditional silicone or fatty acid based softeners. It is very stable in ordinary textile finish process without causing oil-spots on fabric.
Features and Advantages
v Super hydrophilic
v Good soft and volume hand feel
v Virtually no yellowing,has no influence on color light
v Good compatibility
v Excellent stability, including shear stability、PH stability、electrolyte resistance
v No roll-sticking

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.

| After 3 hours of heating, AES 30 is still transparent |
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.

AES 30 |
|
| After 3 hours of heating, AES 30 is semitransparent |
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.
Product | before | after | result |
Rudolf SIQ |
|
| No silicone oil droplets or silicone residue are observed |
AES 30 |
|
| No silicone oil droplets or silicone residue are observed, but a lot of foam is formed |
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.
Product | 25℃ | 50℃ | result |
Rudolf SIQ |
|
| SIQ is not compatible with fluorescent whitening agent |
AES 30 |
|
| Moderate dosage of AES 30 is compatible with fluorescent whitening agent |
