Careguard-LTH is a non-ionic Oil and water repellent based on C 6 Chemistry. It can be applied by padding and by foam technique. It also gives repellency against alcohol and blood and thus can be used in manufacturing of Personal Protection Equipment/ Clothing (PPE) used in medical textiles. Careguard-LTH is more suitable for synthetic fibres but can also be applied on cellulosic fibres and their blends.
