Americos Neutrasoft NCM ( Concentrated cationic softener )
Americos Neutrasoft NCM is a cationic softener which is not diluted from the flakes or cake but formulated to achieve limpy and elastomeric finish. It can be used for cotton, polyester/cotton fabrics. It has a very good hand feeling and anti-static properties. Because of its low-yellowing specific character, it is very suitable for garment processing of blue and white jeans.

Advantages :

• It is pump able, pourable, low viscosity softener in emulsion form
• Can be applied in both exhaust and padding processes
• It is compatible with silicone and cationic products used in finishing formulation
• It has no influence on dyeing fastness.
• Does not yellow when treated fibers are heated
• Does not influence dye fastness
• Does not irritate human skin.
• Suitable for cheese dyeing process.
• Keep fabric low- yellowing,
• Provides bulky and heavy feel
• Neutral pH

Introduction :
Americos Neutrasoft DN is a polyhydric alcohol type nonionic softening agent for natural and synthetic fibers. It imparts a smooth, soft hand with moisture absorbing and moderate anti-static properties. Therefore, it is recommended as softening agent for cotton, linen, wool, acetate, polyamide, polyester rayon and other fibers.

Properties

Features:

• Americos Neutrasoft DN can be easily disperse in 80°hot water and formed very stable emulsion.
• Americos Neutrasoft DN can be used with anionic or cationic softener or other finishing agent.
• Americos Neutrasoft DN exerts no bad influence on the color or white fabrics.
• Americos Neutrasoft DN imparts smooth, soft hand to all fabrics.
• Americos Neutrasoft DN shows better softening effect in comparison with other type nonionic softeners.

Application (10% solution):
Americos Neutrasoft DN can be applied to textiles by dipping or padding. A suitable treating temperature is from room temperature to about 50° - 60^°C x 15 - 20 min amount about 2-5% (owf)

On the finish process treating concentration depends upon the kind of textiles and their uses, but Americos Neutrasoft DN is usually applied at 10 -30g/l aqueous emulsion.

Dissolving method (Dilute into 10% solution) :

Americos Neutrasoft DN	10kg
80°C hot water	90kg

Stir and dissolve 30-60 minutes, filtered before packed.

Storage & handling precautions :

• Store in cool place
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
• It should be stored at ambient temperature.
• The shelf life of Americos Neutrasoft DN is one year if stored under recommended conditions.
• The usual precaution in keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin should be observed.

Function:
Americos Anti-Ozone is originally formulated to provide excellent ozone fastness. It is carefully blended to achieve special Anti-Ozone chemistry while containing efficient waxing property to prohibit damage on the colour and ozone fastness when treated material is exposed to the sun.

Americos Anti-Ozone to a certain extent can also act as an excellent and economically sewing/napping lubricant exhibiting high heat stability designed to dramatically improve the sewing and napping performance of goods made from cellulosic, wool and synthetic fibers. This product not only reduces equipment failure rates but also imparts a soft hand to the treated fabric

Features :

• Is primarily designed to improve ozone fastness
• Also recommended for exhaust and padding operation
• Produces a soft, full handle.
• Exhibits no tendency for sublimation.
• Does not influence the shade or fastness properties of dyed goods
• Does not affect the whiteness of brightened goods
• Minimizes needle breakage and optimizes machine efficiency
• Improves ozone fastness

Properties:

Appreance	translucent, whitish liquid
Chemical description	high density polyethylene dispersion
Ionic character	slightly cationic
Specific gravity (g/cc)	0.95 - 1.05 (25°C/77°F)
pH (as is)	5.5 - 7.0
Dilatability	unlimited with cold water

Compatibility:

Nonionic	good
Anionic	good
Cationic	good
Acids	good to pH 2.0
Bases	good to pH12.0
Hardness	good to 40° g
Resin systems	good, check before using

Storage stability:
freezes below 0°C/32°F, but is fully effective after thawing. Avoid prolonged storage over 50°C/ 120°F

Application
Padding process:
10-60 g/l Americos Anti-Ozone
Pad on dry goods (100% pick-up) at room temperature
Dry conventionally

Exhaust process:
lR=5 - 30 to 1
1-6% Americos Anti-Ozone (based on weight of goods)"
For cellulosic fibers, pH: 6 - 7 with acetic acid or sodium bicarbonate.
For synthetics, pH: 7.5 - 9.0 with sodium bicarbonate or soda ash. Temperature 32° - 54°C/90°-130°F, 15 - 20 minutes, hydros extract and dry conventionally

Due to excellent compatibility, Americos Anti-Ozone can be used in all common finishing formulations

If stripping of the fabric is required, Americos Anti-Ozone can be removed as follows
1.0 - 2.0 g/l detergent
1.0 - 2.0 g/l soda ash Run 30 minutes at 70°-90°C/158°-194°F Rinse.

Storage & Handling Precautions :

• Americos Anti-Ozone should be stored below or at ambient temperature
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight
• The shelf-life of Americos Anti-Ozone is one year if stored below 40°C
• The usual precaution in keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin should be observed
