Product Applications

COMFORTSIL ECOSOFT E4 is designed for use as a base fluid for formulation of amino silicone emulsions specifically to be used as textile softeners and lubricants.

In application to textiles the product typically yields:

  • Smooth soft hand
  • Good drape characteristics
  • Low yellowing
  • Increased fabric elasticity and crease recovery
  • Improved fabric tensile and tear strength

Typical end uses include cellulosic and man made fibres on woven, knitted and non woven fabrics and as a lubricant in raising and sueding.
