LIOSIL® FC 225 E is a nonionic macro emulsion of a reactive, aminofunctional silicone fluid, specially formulated for fabric softeners. When combined with conventional fabric softeners, LIOSIL® FC 225 E enhances their properties. This product is easy to mix with fabric softeners, simplifying the formulation process. By incorporating LIOSIL® FC 225 E, the softening efficacy of fabric softeners is improved, resulting in significantly softer and more pleasant fabrics. Additionally, LIOSIL® FC 225 E increases the hydrophilicity of the treated fabrics, further enhancing their performance. Moreover, it reduces friction forces during ironing, leading to a substantial improvement in ironing properties.

Application Details
  • LIOSIL® FC 225 E is combined with conventional fabric softeners and improves the properties of the fabric softeners.
  • LIOSIL® FC 225 E is easy to mix with fabric softeners. LIOSIL® FC 225 E improves the softening efficacy of fabric softeners and the fabrics get a significant softer and pleasant touch.
  • With LIOSIL® FC 225 E the hydrophilicity is increased. Additionally LIOSIL® FC 225 E reduces the friction forces of the iron and therefore the ironing properties are improved significantly.

Processing:

Preferably LIOSIL® FC 225 E is mixed into the fabric softener at the end of the formulation process by gently stirring. Example for a fabric softener with LIOSIL® FC 225 E:

  • 20.0 parts esterquat, e.g. Stepantex VK 90 (50°C) are poured slowly into
  • 77.6 parts demineralized water (50°C) while stirring until the mixture is homogenous.
  • 0.4 parts CaCl² solution (25%) are added
  • q.s. perfume, dye, preservative are added
  • 2 parts of LIOSIL® FC 225 E are mixed while stirring.

Dosage recommendation: Approx. 1 - 3 % LIOSIL® FC 225 E in the fabric softener formulation; The dosage of LIOSIL® FC 225 E in the fabric softener depends on the expected effects. The level of organic softener can be reduced in favor of LIOSIL® FC 225 E.
