BIOSOFT NS is a high-quality Nonionic Softener in flake form, specifically engineered for applications where cationic products are not suitable. Due to its nonionic nature, it offers exceptional compatibility with a wide range of finishing agents, including optical brighteners and anionic dyes. It provides a smooth, supple, and natural hand-feel without affecting the whiteness of the fabric or causing the yellowing often associated with cationic softeners under high heat.
Key Benefits:
Zero Yellowing: Ideal for white and pastel-colored fabrics as it maintains the integrity of the original shade even during high-temperature drying and curing.
Universal Compatibility: Can be used in the same bath with most other textile auxiliaries, making it a versatile choice for complex finishing recipes.
Absorbency Retention: Unlike many cationic softeners, BIOSOFT NS does not significantly reduce the hydrophilicity of the fiber, making it suitable for absorbent goods.
Stable Emulsion: Once dissolved, it forms a highly stable emulsion that is resistant to high shear and electrolytes, ensuring a spot-free finish.
Application Guidelines:
Usage: Recommended for finishing of white goods, optical brightened fabrics, and as a component in resin finishing baths for cotton and blends.
Dosing: Apply at 0.5% to 1.0% (on weight of fabric/OWF), depending on the fabric type and the desired level of surface smoothness.
Preparation: Dissolve flakes in hot water ($60^{\circ}C$ – $70^{\circ}C$) with high-speed stirring to create a uniform master emulsion before adding to the application tank.
