Silicones for Technical Fabrics and Leathers
Description：a alkyl polysiloxane solution in solvent phase specifically developed for spray or impregnation waterproofing of fabrics and leathers exposed to difficult weather conditions.
Examples of applications：Outdoor fabrics - natural and synthetic leathers.
Aerosols for reproofing of fabrics and leathers (natural and synthetic).
Advantages：
Gives outstanding waterproofing to natural fabrics (cotton, blended cottons,
linen, etc.) synthetic fabrics (polyamide, polyester, etc.) and natural and synthetic
leathers.
Outstanding abrasion resistance in humid environments and resistance to
detergent washing, long lasting waterproofing properties.
It is low viscosity and perfectly adapted to impregnation and
aerosol application (uniform diffusion).
Free of fluorinated resins.
