Product Description

UNIFIX – LFG is an aqueous based liquid of dimethylol ethylene urea formaldehyde which contains very low free formaldehyde contents. UNIFIX – LFG is a reactant type of resin for the sophisticated type of finishes on textiles where low free formaldehyde is required. It is a APEO/NPEO free product and conforms to Oeko-tex and REACH compliance as well.

How to Apply

Finishing bath is prepared with UNIFIX-LFG and water with required concentration. For proper fixation of this resin 10% catalyst such as magnesium chloride or ammonium chloride should be added on the weight of resin. Catalyst should be added to the finishing bah pre-dissolved in water. UNIFIX-LFG can be mixed with all other type of water based resins, polyvinyl acetate emulsions, polyethylene emulsions, cationic and non-ionic softeners, polyvinyl alcohol, and acrylic polymers. 30 to 150 g/l is recommended for crease recovery finishes as desired.

Features and Benefits

UNIFIX-LFG provides maximum elasticity and crease recovery effects in finished fabrics.
Contains low free formaldehyde in the finished fabrics.
Soft and wash-n-wear finishes are obtained. when used with silicone elastomer.

Physical Properties

Appearance : Pale Coloured Liquid lonic character: Non-lonic pH : 6.0-7.0

Application

UNIFIX-LFG is generally applied at padding mangle. The finished fabric is dried on stenter machine or hot air fiue at 130°C followed by curing for polymerization of resin at 180°C for 1 min.

Precautions when in use

1. Ensure that the UNIFIX-LFG solution is completely homogenous before using.
2. Clean inside of pad bath before applying this softner and keep the mangle clean during the process.
