Careguard (Conc) is a water and oil-repelling fluoropolymer based on C6 chemistry. It confers highly durable water and oil repellency on various substrates viz., polyester,cotton, wool fibres and their blends. It can be applied by padding, foam and by spray technique. They give very good results on polyproplyene and polyester nonwoven fabrics also.

Pick-up : 65-70%
Bath pH : 4.0 - 4.5
Drying : 100 - 120 deg.C

SUGGESTED RECIPES:
For all substrates :
Careguard (Conc) : 25-70 g/l
Acetic Acid : 0.5 g/l
IPA : 5 g/l
* Concentration of Careguard (Conc) to be taken on the basis of durability requirement.
Note:
1. It is recommended to prewash the substrate to be treated with 1 g/l Saragen-DAM at 80-85 deg.C for 20-30 min. to remove traces of residual impurities to get excellent results.
2. After padding and drying if fabric is kept overnight before curing, results will be further improved.
3. Water and Oil repellent can be combined with Wrinkle free finish. (Pre-trials are recommended)
To pass Cone test or Bundesmann Testing, please ensure following points for better results
1. Fabric should be very well pre-treated (Highly Absorbent, no residual wetting agent present on the fabric)
2. More Overfeeding will also help in achieving better results
3. Also Calendaring after Water repellent treatment will help in achieving better results
4. Coating is more preferable option than padding with a water repellent as it will help in blocking the pores.
Sequence of addition:
- Prepare bath with all ingredients including Saralink-ULF, MgCl2 in water containing Acetic acid.
- Stir continuously and add Careguard (Conc) as the final ingredient.
