ECOGUARD-786 | Oil, Water and Stain Repellents

ECOGUARD-786 is a new generation water and oil repellent fluorocarbon based on C6 Chemistry. It imparts durable oil and water repellency on various substrates like polyester, cotton, nylon, Aramid fibres and their blends without affecting the original hand of fabric. It gives very high oil repellency. It can be applied by pad, foam and spray technique. The performance of ECOGUARD-786 will be closer to that of C8 Chemistry Fluorocarbons.

Padding process:

• Ecoguard-786 : 30-80 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 ECOGUARD-786 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. Compatible with Flame Retardant finish (Pre-trial is recommended).
4. Water and Oil repellent can be combined with Wrinkle free finish. (Pre-trials are recommended)

Sequence of addition:

• Prepare bath with all ingredients including Saralink-ULF, MgCl2 in water containing Acetic acid.
• Stir continuously and add ECOGUARD-786 as the final ingredient.

Precautions:

• Before using our product, stir the product gently and then passing through a filter is advisable before pre-dilution and application
• Avoid high speed and continuous stirring.
• Avoid silicone based softeners in the finishing recipe.
• Pre trial with ECOGUARD-786 is recommended with coating chemicals.
