CAREGUARD-SV | Oil and Water Repellent

Careguard-SV is a new generation highly cost effective water and oil repellent fluorocarbon based on C6 Chemistry. It imparts balanced water and oil repellency on various substrates viz., polyester, cotton, nylon, wool fibres and their blends. Careguard-SV gives very good and durable oil-water repellency on Acrylic substrates. It can be applied by pad foam and spray technique. The performance of Careguard-SV will be closer to that of C8 Chemistry Fluorocarbons. They can be applied on nonwoven substrates also. Careguard-SV is suitable for application on Personal Protective Equipment/ Clothing used in medical and industrial textiles.

Padding process

• Careguard-SV : 20-80 g/l
• Acetic Acid : 0.5 g/l
• IPA : 5 g/l
• Pick-up : 65-70%
• Bath pH : 4.0 - 4.5
• Drying : 100 - 120 deg.C
• Curing : 150 deg.C, 5 min. OR 160 deg.C, 3 min. OR 170 deg.C, 1 min.

* Concentration of Careguard-SV to be taken on the basis of durability requirement.

* Depending on the GSM of the fabric and (%) Expression of the fabric the dosage of the above chemical has to be optimized.

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. Compatible with Flame Retardent finish (Pre-trial is recommended).
4. Water and Oil repellent can be combined with Wrinkle free finish. (Pre-trials are recommended)
