TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Etherified methylol melamine crosslinking agent

GENERAL PROPERTIES

• Free formaldehyde contents is lower than conventional methylol melamine crossliking.
• Gives a stiff handle on woven and knitted fabric made from natural and stnthetic fibres.
• Is used alone or combination with reactants used for the shrink resistant finish of textile made from
• natural and regenerated cellulose.
• Is wash fast fixing.
• Gives boil wash fast effects on cotton.
• Gves a full handle on cotton and blends with synthetic fibres.
• Improving the shrink resistant of cotton and blends with synthetic fibres.
• Improving the shrink resistant of cotton and increases the resilience, also the shape retention.
• Can be used for binding of mineral fibrous webs, especially of glass fibrous webs.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance	Clear to slightly turbid liquid
Chemical Constitution	Concentrated etherified melamine Formaldehyde crosslinking agent
pH	7.5 - 8.5
Solids	Approx 50%
Solubility	Soluble in cold water in any proportions
Storage	Can be stored for at least 6 months in closed containers at ambient temperatures
Stability	Stable in hard water

SPECIAL ADVICE

• A small quantity of acetic acid is recommended to add into the bath to prevent the solution turns to turbid appearance.

PROCESSING

The required quantity of Durapret MF is diluted in cold water.

The application is done at the usual temperatures, curing is done depending from field of application and catalyst at temperatures between 130° - 170°C for 5 minutes to 15 seconds.

APPLICATION

Stiff finish for synthetic fabric

50 - 300 g/l	Durapret MF
10 g/l	Biocat M	depending on desired stiff effect

For tulle articles an articles an increase of concentration to 500 g/l and more are frequently necessary.
