India's Cosmo Specialty Chemicals makes cationic softener for textiles

Silky SF softener is recommended as a finishing product for all kinds of fabrics, especially cotton as it imparts surface smoothness to the material. The application of this finishing agent provides a soft, fluffy, soapy, voluminous surface to the physical texture of the fabric. To increase lubricity of the fabric, this finishing agent can be applied with exhaust and pad process application. Silky SF is a cost-effective product and ensures minimal effect on shade change of treated materials on post softening thermo-mechanical treatments, Cosmo Specialty Chemicals said in a media statement.

The softener is easy-to-use and its application retains quality while imparting surface smoothness and supple handle to the cloth. Silky SF is miscible in water in all proportions. For textile processing, its usage is suitable for exhaust and pad application techniques. The recommended dose for Exhaust is 2-4 per cent while for continuous use is 20-40 g/l.
