WACKER^® FINISH CT 210 E

Polyester fill fibre can be rendered resilient with WACKER^® FINISH CT 210 E. WACKER^® FINISH CT 210 E is applied to the fill fibres by dipping and padding or spraying. The practical concentration of application depends on the impregnating method (spraying or dipping and squeezing). Particularly recommended for this, the add on weight being 0.3 - 0.8 %. Drying and crosslinking is obtained by heating up to 120 - 160 °C for few minutes. The crosslinking and the associated properties like permanence, slickness and resilience can be adjusted through pH-value variations. The crosslinking speed and degree of crosslinking can be gradually reduced with the addition of acetic acid. Recipe example: 40 ,,g/l,,WACKER^® FINISH CT 210 E 0 - 0.20,,g/l,,Acetic acid (80 %) For improving the antistatic behaviour of the PES-fibre, organic antistatic agents can be added to the formulation. Impregnating bath properties Impregnating baths normally will remain unchanged for several hours. In this connection it must be noted that high pH values can cause premature changes in bath stability. Resistance to laundering and dry cleaning The touch and resilience of fibres impregnated with WACKER^® FINISH CT 210 E are totally unaffected by repeated domestic laundering at 40 °C (using detergents for delicate fabrics) and dry cleaning.


WACKER^® FINISH CT 210 E imparts slickness and resilience to polyester fill fibre. WACKER^® FINISH CT 210 E has proven favourable for use in quilts, pillows and similar articles.

The effects thus produced are unaffected by domestic laundering and dry cleaning.
