HYDROCARE (CONC) (N)

HYDROCARE (CONC) (N) | Hydrophilic softener

Product Information

Hydrocare (Conc) (N) is a new generation hydrophilic softener specially developed to impart outstanding softness on the textile substrates. It imparts superior softness than the conventional hydrophilic silicone softeners especially on terry towels and knits. Hydrocare (Conc) (N) is applicable by exhaust as well as by padding method. It is also suitable by wet on wet application. Hydrocare (Conc) (N) does not affect the hydrophilicity of the finished substrate. It can also be used for moisture management finish. Since it is shear stable it can be applied on fabric using high turbulence machine such as soft flow.
