Padding Process:

Ecoguard-6025 : 30-80 g/l 

Pick-up : 65-70% 

Bath pH : 6.0-7.0 

Drying : 120 deg.C, 2 min. 

Curing* : 145-150 deg.C, 3 min. OR 170 deg.C for 40 sec.

* In case of polyester, at maximum pick up, curing at temperature 145-150 deg.C gives better spray rating. 

* In case of polyester and P/W fabric it is recommended to wash fabric with 0.5-1 g/l Celldet-R (Non-ionic wetting agent) before finishing. 


Exhaust process for Garment/fabrics:

Ecoguard-6025 : 6-10% 

Bath pH : 6.0 - 7.0 

Bath Temp. : R.T. to 40 deg.C, (1 deg.C/min.) 

Time : 30-40 min. at 40 deg.C 

Drying/Curing : 110 deg.C, 3 min. / 145-150 deg.C, 3 min. OR 170 deg.C for 40 sec.  


Note: 

- Preliminary trials are recommended before bulk processing 

- For higher durability 5-10 g/l of Ecolink (Conc) can be used 

- To get very good results with Ecoguard-6025, pick up should be more than 70% 

- The minimum 145 deg.C temperature for curing is recommended

- If results are not upto the mark, then re-curing will help to get better results

- Ecoguard-6025 is suitable with Deca based FR products but it is not to be used with phosphorous based and APP (Ammonium Phosphophate) based FR products 

- Before finishing with Ecoguard-6025, bring the fabric temperature to room temperature
