Cotton Softening & Smoothing Silicone oil Instruction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

72108 is a high-concentration, semi-self-emulsifying block copolymer raw oil, which cannot be directly applied to fibers or fabrics. Therefore, it should be emulsified before textile processing. It can be easily emulsified using conventional equipment and standard processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Emulsification Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stir 72108 and the emulsifier until uniform before use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Add 72108 and emulsifier into a mixer and stir thoroughly for 10 minutes<\/strong> until completely homogeneous;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Slowly add the acetic acid + water 1<\/strong> mixture and continue stirring for 10 minutes<\/strong> until uniform;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add approximately 1\/5 of Water 2<\/strong>, stir for 5 minutes<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Add another 1\/5 of Water 2<\/strong>, stir for 5 minutes<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Add the remaining Water 2<\/strong>, stir for 5 minutes<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Allow to stand for defoaming, filter and discharge;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Check the pH of the prepared solution (pH = 4.0\u20136.0<\/strong>). A clear micro-emulsion should be obtained.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
