Industrial Textile

One of the most consolidated applications for the textile segment is the use of functionalized silicones in the form of macro or micro emulsion to promote softness and treatment of natural or synthetic fiber. However, over the last few years, a series of new applications have been developed and, in addition to this family of products, other types of silicones have been consolidated for application in the textile segment, such as EO/PO silicone fluids (used as auxiliaries), resins (which promote finishing and repellency), in addition to defoamers and additives (which allow a wide possibility both in finishing and in process ease, generating differentiation and savings for product formulators for this market). Athon has an extensive range of silicone-based products, as well as entire line of products developed as process aids based on other chemical technologies, generating opportunity and competitiveness for formulators.

Athon FB 500 Antifoam

DESCRIPTION

Athon FB 500 Antifoam is a compound based on organofunctional silicone fluids that exhibit high compatibility with organic systems.

CHARACTERISTICS

Athon FB 500 Antifoam is a self-dispersing product, with the ability to spontaneously form a fine dispersion when added to water.

APPLICATIONS

Athon FB 500 Antifoam is recommended for all organic systems that require a highly compatible antifoaming agent. Thus, it is ideal for applications where silicones would normally cause problems, such as water miscible adhesives and cooling lubricants.
It is particularly recommended for systems with a high surfactant content or involving high shear forces, such as the incorporation of pigments into dispersions. In these systems, purely organic defoamers rapidly become ineffective.
Athon FB 500 Antifoam also serves as an antifoam agent for suspensions rich in fine and strongly foaming particles and in the production of redispersible powders.

Athon TX 440 Formulation Aid

DESCRIPTION

Athon TX 440 Formulation Aid is an aqueous polyurethane dispersion used to optimize water and oil repellent fluorocarbon based finishes.

CHARACTERISTICS

•Short chain aliphatic polyurethane dispersion with functional groups to improve the properties and permanence of fluorocarbon-based finishes on all types of substrates
•Easy dispersion in the treatment bath
•Optimizes the resistance to wet and dry cleaning of fabrics with an oil-repellent finish
•Improves the film-forming properties of fluorocarbons

Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic

DESCRIPTION

Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic is an aqueous polyurethane-polyether preparation for the elastic finishing of cellulosic fibers and blends of cellulosic and synthetic fibers.

CHARACTERISTICS

•Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic is a polyurethane-polyether polymer
•Self-crosslinking agent that forms a permanent, highly elastic film around the fibers, free of formaldehyde.
The touch is soft and high volume
•Easily miscible with water
•Stable to hard water salts and weak acids and weak alkalis
•Provides, especially to synthetic materials, a pleasantly full and soft touch
•Reduces wrinkles in items for drying on hangers or in clothes dryers

APPLICATIONS

•Application preferably by foulard, or also application in foam and by exhaust processes.
•Fabrics must be cured above 130°C after drying to complete crosslinking and fix the product to the fiber. Curing conditions: 130 – 180°C for 3min.
•Normally 20 to 40g/L of the product are used in finishing preparations together with other products, depending on the process in which it is applied.

Reduction of formaldehyde content using resins in cellulosic fibers
Cellulosic materials and blends of cellulosics with synthetics are often given a resin finish, usually synthetic resins such as DMDHEU (dimethylol- dihydroxyethylene urea), DMU (dimethylol-urea), DMEU (dimethylol-ethylene-urea) etc. To reduce the formaldehyde content, Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic can be used to replace up to half of the synthetic resin without any change in the mechanical and technical properties of the fabrics.
Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic is self-crosslinking, without the need for a catalyst like synthetic resins. If used in combination with synthetic resins, these must be cross-linked with weak catalysts such as
magnesium chloride or aminohydrochloride, as the product may react with strong catalysts such as nitrate or zinc chloride.

Improved abrasion resistance
The film formed on the fiber surface improves abrasion resistance. As the film is permanent, the improved abrasion resistance is maintained even after repeated washing, for example on cotton.

Reduction in pilling
Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic binds fibers together, preventing mechanical migration of individual fibers to the fabric surface and decreasing pilling.

Improved friction resistance (rub fastness)
The improvement in friction resistance obtained with this product depends on the dye class, fiber type, fabric structure, etc. Preliminary tests must be carried out in the laboratory.

Bonding of Fibers to Nonwovens
An addition of approximately 1% solids forms bridges between fibers. Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic is an
excellent additive for gluing preparations used in the production of nonwovens and felt. Experience shows that adding the product gives an even softer and more flexible feel. The optimal addition must be established in each case individually.

Attention:
Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic is amphoteric – when applying it in combination with other products, especially cationic, the stability of the preparation must always be checked beforehand. Preparations containing Athon TX 310 Pro-Elastic must be tested in the laboratory to ensure that they do not cause a shade shift under the specific application conditions. There is usually a slight change in shade, but it can be more pronounced with certain dyes. In exceptional circumstances, staining of treated fabrics may occur.

Athon AM 220 Fluid

DESCRIPTION

Athon AM 220 Fluid is a composition containing functionalized silicone fluid, used as lubricating and release agent in industrial processes.

CHARACTERISTICS

•Good spreading
•Efficient mold release and lubrication
•Stable on storage, even when diluted

APPLICATIONS

Athon AM 220 Fluid is used in common industrial release processes, replacing common silicone fluids for better performance and efficiency. It can be used neat or diluted with solvents to the desired concentration. Suitable solvents include: chlorinated, aliphatic (hexane, turpentine) and aromatic (xylene and toluene) solvents. Athon AM 220 Fluid is also recommended for thread lubrication, providing high process performance.
