OIL AND WATER REPELLANTS

SOFTECH 5412A
SOFTECH 5412A is a fluoropolymer finish for carpet and textiles that is not produced by the ECF (electrochemical fluorination) process and does not contain PFOS.

SOFTECH 5412A contains a high percentage of non-PFOS fluropolymer and provides excellent oil, water and soil repellency on most substrates.

SOFTECH 5412A can be applied by pad, spray or foam methods in amounts arranging from 0.25% to 5.0% owg depending on the fabric and the degree of protection required.


SOFTECH 6022A
SOFTECH 6022A is a blended fluoropolymer that has PROVEN to successfully impart durable water and oil repellency to natural, synthetic and blended fibers.

There are several benefits to using SOFTECH 6022A. It has a strong affinity for natural and synthetic fibers, allowing it to provide superior water and oil repellency that is resistant to laundering and friction abrasion. It is also durable to washing and dry cleaning. SOFTECH 6022A causes no crockfastness or shading problems when properly applied and cured, and provided that the user selects any other ingredients that are applied to the substrate. In addition, it has demonstrated excellent stability over a fairly large pH range (5 to 9), and, unlike many other repellents, SOFTECH 6022A is non-flammable.


SOFTECH PF
SOFTECH PF is a water miscible fluoropolymer emulsion that has been specifically developed for application to paper and fiberboard. It provides excellent resistance to oil and grease and also gives a sizing effect on paper and fiberboard.

SOFTECH PF conforms to FDA regulations and may be applied to paper and fiberboard designed for use as food packaging/wrapping. In addition, SOFTECH PF will not affect the strength, color, hand or air permeability of paper.

SOFTECH PF may be applied to paper that has been sized with rosin and/or aluminum sulfate; however, it should be used in addition to a rosin barrier.


SOFTECH 5500A
SOFTECH 5500A is an economical flurocarbon finish developed to provide oil, water and soil repellency on carpets.

SOFTECH 5500A is a fluoropolymer emulsion, which has beeen PROVEN to impart excellent oil, water and soil repellency on synthetic fabrics and carpets. SOFTECH 5500A does not interfere with crock fastness and does not cause any shading problems.

SOFTECH 5500A can be applied in spray and foaming applications. Applications levels vary depending on the carpet face weight but typically 0.7% owg is recommend.


SOFTECH NI-400
SOFTECH NI-400 is a non-ionic fluorocarbon finish which has been PROVEN to impart oil and water resistance to synthetic substrates without affecting the shade or crockfastness of dyed goods.

Moderate curing can be reached at 250 degrees F., but ideally, SOFTECH NI-400 should be applied to an extracted fabric at the dryer on carpets to produce deeper penetration followed by subsequent curing at the coater for 5 to 10 minutes.
