Application

Padding process

Ecoguard-SYN (Conc) : 30-100 g/l
Pick-up : 65-70%
Bath pH : 6.0-7.0
Drying : 120 deg.C, 2 min.
Curing* : 145-150 deg.C, 3 min. OR 170 deg.C for 40 sec.
In case of polyester, at maximum pick up, curing at temperature 145-150 deg.C gives better spray rating.
In case of polyester and P/W fabric it is recommended to wash fabric with 0.5-1 g/l Saragen-DAM before finishing.

Exhaust process for garment fabrics

Ecoguard-SYN (Conc) : 4-10%
Bath pH : 6.0 - 7.0
Bath Temp. : R.T. to 40 deg.C, (1 deg.C/min.)
Time : 30-40 min. at 40 deg.C
Drying/Curing : 110 deg.C, 3 min. / 145-150 deg.C, 3 min. OR 170 deg.C for 40 sec.

Note:

Before using our product, stir the product gently and then passing through a filter is advisable before pre-dilution and application
Filtration of Ecoguard-SYN (Conc) after stirring and before diluting is recommended.
It is recommended to prewash the substrate 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
Preliminary trials are recommended before bulk processing
For higher durability 5-10 g/l of Ecolink (Conc) can be used
To get very good results with Ecoguard-SYN (Conc) pick up should be more than 70%
The minimum 145 deg.C temperature for curing is recommended
If results are not upto the mark, then re-curing will help to get better results
Ecoguard-SYN (Conc) is suitable with Deca based FR products but it is not to be used with phosphorous based and APP (Ammonium Phosphophate) based FR products
Before finishing with Ecoguard-SYN (Conc), bring the fabric temperature to room temperature
The impairment of the repellent effects will occur by adding analogous auxillaries into the finishing bath.
To avoid impairment of the repellent effect mechanical treatment such as calendering, brushing etc. to be avoided
