Hydrophilic silicone emulsion RUISIL 3055
Product Description
RUISIL 3055 is a micro emulsion made of linear block silicone copolymer and delivers a hydrophilic, soft and smooth hand to cellulosic fiber. After the treatment of RUISIL 3055, the fabric still maintain natural hand characteristics, of which amount is less than other traditional softener.
Features and Advantages
v Excellent soft and smooth hand feel
v Good hydrophilicity
v No yellowing change
v Excellent chemical stability,can resist high temperature, salt, PH and high shear
v Excellent compatibility with fixing agent, OBA and so on
v Good affinity to fabrics
v High performance-price ratio

Application
As a textile auxiliary agent, RUISIL 3055 can be used for all kinds of fabrics, but the best performance will be achieved when applying to cellulosic fibers, such as cotton, rayon, flax, and their blends with polyester.
For textile finish process, RUISIL 3055 can be applied by padding and impregnation finishing. RUISIL 3055 is extreme stable in a wide PH range, high temperature or high concentrations of salts. Also, it will not stick to rollers. As a result, RUISIL 3055 can be used in special conditions.
Usage
l Padding process：5-20g/L
l Exhaustion process：0.5-1.5%（o.w.f）
Performance comparison
The products are subjected to the form of micro-emulsion,following the proportion of oil around 20% in the emulsion. The samples are applied in concentrations of 25 grams per liter on cotton.

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.
