NT textile enhancer is a patented, quat functional silicone copolymer with a repeating block structure that combines several chemical entities in one linear molecule. Close to self-emulsifiable, NT textile enhancer can be applied by spray but is particularly well suited for exhaust applications, where its outstanding emulsion stability allows it to deliver full benefits to the end user.

Textile enhancer NT
Description
NT textile enhancer is a patented, quat functional silicone copolymer with a repeating block structure that combines several chemical entities in one linear molecule. Close to self-emulsifiable, NT textile enhancer can be applied by spray but is particularly well suited for exhaust applications, where its outstanding emulsion stability allows it to deliver full benefits to the end user.
NT textile enhancer is a new textile auxiliary agent designed to deliver a hydrophilic, voluminous, silky hand to all types of fabrics at lower use levels than other products and, very significantly, to retain these performance attributes through several home laundry cycles.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Combines a silky feel and a rich, bulky hand for a unique and unusually powerful softness effect
2. Does not alter the hydrophilic nature of cotton and cotton blends
3. Increases the hydrophilicity of synthetics
4. Provides stretch recovery with a significant elastomeric effect particularly on knits
5. Gives in depth softness
6. Is effective on virtually all types of fibers
7. Provides softness and durability effects that are fast to at least ten home laundry washes, and that are particularly pronounced with cellulosic fibers.
8. Self-emulsifiable; can generate emulsions that possess extreme shear and pH stability (acid and alkaline)
9. Causes virtually no yellowing of white or light shade goods
10. Does not affect the color of dark fabrics
11. Odorless.
Typical Physical Properties
Appearance | Colorless to slightly brown fluid |
Viscosity, cSt, 25°C/77°F | 15,000 |
Density, gr/cm3 | 0.980 |
Applications
NT textile enhancer is a textile auxiliary agent that may add significant value to all types of knit and woven fabrics. NT textile enhancer is particularly effective on knits where it provides the typical silicone softener effects and also increases their stretch recovery. NT textile enhancer is effective on woven fabrics and is compatible with durable press resin and fluorocarbon soil release finishes.
NT textile enhancer is normally applied as a water emulsion. Due to its polar nature, NT textile enhancer can be easily emulsified using simple mixing devices and containers widely available throughout the industry. There is no need for homogenization or colloid milling.
Product Safety, Handling and Storage
Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials and food and drink. Store locked up. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
