Manufacturing Process

Hydrophilic Phase

  1. Heat water to 60°C and dissolve Polyethylene Glycol while stirring.
  2. Maintain mixture temperature and check for complete dissolution.

Hydrophobic Phase

  1. In a separate vessel, combine Polypropylene Glycol and Silicone Emulsion.
  2. Mix using a high-shear mixer until uniform consistency is achieved.

Final Processing

  1. Combine both phases under continuous agitation at 55°C.
  2. Slowly add Fluoropolymer Dispersion; maintain substrate temperature.
  3. Conduct viscosity measurement for quality control; adjust speed or temperature if needed.

Usage Instructions

Apply evenly on clean, dry textiles using a professional spray applicator. Cure coated textiles at 120°C for 5 minutes to ensure proper adhesion and functionality.
