Processing
- WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV can be applied neat, from solution, or emulsion. Suitable solvents are aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, higher alcohols, and ketones.
- Most textile processes are waterbased. Hence WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV is mainly applied from emulsion. WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV is suitable for the formulation of microemulsions and macroemulsions.
- WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV can be used as sole active substance in softener emulsions or in combination with other components, e.g. paraffines, esters of fatty acids, etc. Compatability of the components has to be checked in each individual case.
- Emulsions of WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV are diluted to the optimum concentration for the specific fabric. Application can be done by padding or exhaustion.

- WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV is particularly suitable as active substance in softener formulations for the impregnation of fibers and textiles.
- WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV imparts a very soft, drapable, and elastic touch to woven and knitted fabrics.
- WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV is considered to be the best softening agent for PES/cotton fabrics.
- WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV has only little effect on the degree of whiteness in a softener formulation. As a rule no adverse effect on the shade or color fastness properties of colored goods is observed.
- As part of formulations used as fill fiber finish WACKER® FINISH WR 1100 LV imparts excellent slickness and resilience to the fiber.
