MOISTURE GUARD

MOISTURE GUARD | Wicking and Moisture Management

Product Information

Moisture-Guard is a concentrated organo hydrophilic finishing agent for cellulosic, polyamide and their blends. It imparts rapid moisture absorption, evaporation and improved wicking thereby producing a cooling effect to wearer. Moisture-Guard enables the fabric to absorb moisture from the body and allow it to evaporate quickly. Moisture-Guard is durable to home laundering.

Application

Padding process

  • Dosage* : 5-10 g/l
  • Pick-up : 65-70%
  • Bath pH : 5.0-6.0
  • Drying : 130-160 deg.C

Exhaust process

  • Dosage* : 0.5-1%
  • Bath pH : 5.0-6.0
  • Bath Temp. : 30-40 deg.C
  • Time : 20-30 mins.

* Dosages recommended are based on the concentrated product's strength.

Note:

Fabric with lower absorbency will show appreciable difference in overall performance while with good absorbency fabric, there is not much difference in performance of finished fabric as compared to unfinished fabric.

Instructions For Dilution

Moisture-Guard to be used as it is; since diluted product has limited stability.

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.
