Introduction: Ameristol ISN is a permanent elastic finishing agent with super handle. It can be combined with easy-care and similar finishes. Prior tests are recommended in all cases to determine the influence of any combination on the final effects.
Properties:
Appearance
White, low viscosity emulsion
Ionic Charge
Non ionic
pH-Value
6 ± 1
Solubility
Easily diluted with cold water. Dilution water must be slightly acidic.
Acid Stability
Stable to normal mill dilutions
Alkali Stability
Not stable to presence of alkali
Water Hardness
Stable to water of 50° German hardness.
Compatibility:
Ameristol ISN has soft flowing handle with "springy" character
It is temperature stable and improves sewability performance
It is suitable for thermo sol process
It is durable for dry-cleaning
Usage: Ameristol ISN gives increased elasticity and a soft smooth handle to all fiber types and their mixtures.
Pad bath:
Ameristol ISN
5 - 20 g/l
Wet pick-up
80 - 100 %
Dry
150° C
Easy-care finishes: Ameristol ISN may be combined with normal easy-care resins to give durable softening effects together with a positive effect on abrasion resistance, Elmendorf values and crease recovery.
Typical pad bath recipe:
Americos Wrinkle Free ARN
30-60 g/l
Ameristol ISN
5 - 20 g/l
Acetic acid (60 %)
2 g/l
Magnesium chloride
10- 20 g/l
Wet pick-up
70- 80 %
Drying
130°C
Curing
4 min at 150°C
Comment: To avoid problems with alkaline liquors, dilutions should be made with the prior addition of 1-3 g/l Acetic acid. Strong mechanical forces may have an adverse effect on liquors containing silicone products such as Ameristol ISN. Therefore the use of high pressure pumps and high shear mixers should be avoided.
Storage & Handling Precautions:
Store in a cool place
Avoid storing in direct sunlight
The shelf life of Ameristol ISN is six month if stored below 40°C
The usual precautions in keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin should be observed
