Manufacturing Process

Water Phase

  1. Mix water with alcohol ethoxylate at 25°C until homogeneous
  2. Ensure no visible separation or layering for 30 minutes

Oil Phase

  1. Combine fluoropolymer and silicone resin at 50°C with continuous stirring
  2. Ensure resin dissolution and clear mixture

Emulsification Phase

  1. Slowly add the oil phase to the water phase under high-shear mixing
  2. Maintain mixing speed at 1000 rpm until emulsion forms

Final Processing

  1. Cool the emulsion to room temperature while adding polyurethane emulsion
  2. Incorporate preservative under low-speed blending to avoid aeration
  3. Perform quality checks for stability, viscosity, and pH range

Usage Instructions

Apply evenly on upholstery fabric using a spray gun or a microfiber cloth. Allow to dry fully before use. Recommended application rate: 60-80 g/m².
