Application

Padding process

Ecoguard-SYN : 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. and 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) can be used with Deca based FR products and pretrials are strictly recommended. 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

Precautions

Storage : Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight. Storage temperature should not exceed 35 deg C.Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture.
