RUCON® X-FAC
Permanent pleat fixation/Easy care finish; Creation of 3D effects
- Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® (Class II-IV)
- ZDHC MRSL compliant
- Actual application for ZDHC Chemical Gateway: Level 0
- Crosslinking agent for the low-formaldehyde resin finishing of wovens and knitwear made from cellulosic fibres and their blends with synthetic fibres
- Applicable to made-up garments
- Does not require an additional catalyst system
- Results in very low formaldehyde values if cured adequately
- Good easy-care properties and high dimensional stability of the finished goods
- Produces wash-and-wear effects that are stable at the boil
- No or only slight changes of shade
- Produces chlorine-resistant finishes
- Causes lower losses of tear fastness than conventional reactant crosslinking agents
- Highly compatible with most auxiliaries used in resin finishing, such as additives, softening and filling agents, water, oil and soil repellent agents and brighteners
- Perfectly suitable for creating 3D effects
- Strong blocking agent for indigo when oxidants are applied subsequently to 3D tagging
- In the case of oxidant application after 3D tagging: Preferably for dark shades (avoid on lighter shades due to too strong contrasts at the 3D pleat area bleaching
- For 3D effect creation on lighter shades: RUCON® FNF is to be preferred
Chemical basis:
Modified N-methylol dihydroxyethylene urea with incorporated catalyst system
Ionic character:
Uncharged
RUCON® FNF
Permanent pleat fixation/Easy care finish; Creation of 3D effects
- Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® (Suitable for class I-IV)
- ZDHC MRSL compliant
- Actual application for ZDHC Chemical Gateway: Level 0
- Crosslinking agent for a formaldehyde-free resin finishing of textiles made of cellulosic fibres or their blends with synthetic fibres.
- High liquor stability even with strong catalysts
- Results in formaldehyde-free finishing effects if catalysed and cured correctly
- Complies with the requirements of zero formaldehyde according to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, class I
- Perfectly suitable for creating 3D effects
- Blocking agent for indigo when oxidants are applied subsequently after 3D tagging (patrticularly suitable for light to medium washes
- Avoidance of undesired strong contrasts in the 3D pleat area when bleaching; after 3D tagging
- RUCON® X-FAC would give too strong contrasts in the 3 D pleat area
Chemical basis:
Modified dihydroxyethylene urea, formaldehyde-free
Ionic character:
Uncharged
