(1)One Bath Pad-Dry Method


Preparation :
All products should be diluted first before mixing, Never add capsules in concentrated form into the bath.

Pad Through Following Trough Mixture

• Americos Wettex 800 : 0.1 g/l (Wetting agent) / Nonionic penetrating
• Americos Aloe Vera Finish :30 g/l
• Americos Resin Binder :50-80 g/l (Nonionic Acrylic Binder)
• Americos Nanosoft 1140 : 20 g/l

Finally make up the bath to 1000 parts with water. Pad the fabric with the above recipe for 90% pick-up and then dry/cure at 155°C for 30 seconds.

(2) Exhaust Method


This method is recommended for garment processing and should not be applied in the jet.

Steps involved in the exhaust method

• Add the garments to the machine
• Fill the water to a liquor ratio of 1:10
• Dilute the microcapsules and gently stir to make good dispersion of capsules
• Add diluted capsules to the bath (an anionic dispersing agent can be added to ensure good dispersion)
• Run the machine for 10 min
• Raise the temperature to 50-60^°C depending on binder's characteristics
• Run the machine for further 15 min
• Add a nonionic binder
• Run the machine for further 15 min
• Add nonionic softener and run the machine for 15 min (if required )
• Drain
• Hydro extract
• Dry (do not exceed 155°C)

Storage & Handling Precautions:

• Store in cool place
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight

Americos Flame Retardant 7290 will enable treated cotton and polyester/cotton blends to pass various vertical flame retardant specifications, such as California drapery standards Title # 19, NFPA-701, Federal Test Methods 5903. Etc.

Advantages

• Non- yellowing and has soft hand
• Non-corrosive when fabric is in contact with metals
• May also be applied on 100% polyester fabrics
• Durable to repeated dry cleaning but not durable to laundering

Properties

Appearance	Water white liquid
pH	5.5-6.5
Ionic nature	Anionic
Solubility	Miscible with cold tap water in all proportions
Storage	Up to one year

Usage :
The Concentration of the pad formulation of Americos Flame Retardant 7290 applied to polyester/cotton blends or 100% polyester will depend upon the flame retardant specifications to be met. For vertical flame tests such as NFPA-701, California drapery tests, New York City requirements, etc., we suggest a dry add-on of 15 -25% based on the weight and construction of fabric. Pad the fabric through a finish solution containing Americos Flame Retardant 7290 35- 60% (ows) to an 80% wet pick-up and dry. The concentration of the pad bath may be adjusted for fabric at 150°C or below to avoid any tendency toward yellowing the cotton portion of the blend.

The addition of 1% (ows) Americos Flame Retardant 7290 to the stock bath will assist in wetting out and penetration. This is especially beneficial when treating tight constructions. Normal wetting agents are ineffective in flame retardant solutions. Americos Flame Retardant 7290 has no wetting properties in plain water; it is an excellent wetting agent and penetrate when used in solutions containing Americos Flame Retardants.

Usage continued :
The chemicals in this compound are composed of a water solution of salts. Concentrated solutions accidentally spilled on the skin or in contact with the eyes should be thoroughly rinsed with water.

Storage & Handling Precautions:

• Store in cool place
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight
• The shelf-life of Americos Flame Retardant 7290 is one year if stored below 40°C
• The usual precaution in keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin should be observed
