9. HIGH WASH

9. HIGH “WASH PERMANENT” FC POLYMERS:

Highly cross-linked FC polymers are suitable for distinctive effects and permanence to washing, particularly on synthetic materials. These FC polymer modifications which have long been used in the medical protection textiles field are now also used in the equipment field, as for example in motor cycling clothing.

The high degree of permanence is produced by incorporating additional reactive groups in the polymer, and the co-responsibility often interrelated effect amplifier.

LAD FC polymer:

LAD is the English term for “Laundry Air Dry”.

The effect in the case of a fabric finished with an LAD product is generated simply by air drying. In addition to more optimum film formation, the combination of fluoroacrylate and effect amplifier brings about fluorine side chain stabilization by target produced stabilizing forces during the washing process.

The stabilization reduces fluorine side chain disorientation. While the oil water and dirt repellant properties are retained over the long term even without intermediate heat treatment.

In addition to the above mentioned effect promoting properties, the effect amplifier has high degrees of permanence-promoting reactivity, which already has a complete effect at very low curing temperature.

The technological performance of functional outdoor and active sports wear is considerably improved by fluorocarbon finishing.
