TexcareŽ SRA is an anionic Soil Release Polymer which was developed especially for detergent powder application.
Polyester fabrics or mixed fabrics containing polyester fibres are diffucult to clean because of their strongly hydrophobic character. Oily and fatty stains adhere effectively on such fibres and cannot be removed by the washing-liquor easily.
Soil Release Polymers out of TexcareŽ series have been developed to protect the fibres of a polyester containing fabric with a polymeric film. The presence of this film reduces the affinity of oils and fats to deposit on the fabric surfaces and makes it easier to remove these stains during subsequentent washing.
TexcareŽ SRN is a nonionic Soil Release Polymer which was developed especially for liquid detergent application
Benefits & Applications of Soil Release Polymer:
TexcareŽ SRA can be used in all kind of powder detergent formulations
TexcareŽ SRN can be used in all kind of liquid detergent formulations
During a wash cycle removed soil can redeposite onto the fabric. This undesired effect results in a graying of the textiles. TexcareŽ is used in detergents to reduce soil redeposition on syntetic fibres.
Even without a first "pre-wash" of the fabric to apply a TexcareŽ SRN finish, soil is removed better from polyester and cotton/polyester
