Athon AM 8012 Fluid

DESCRIPTION

Athon AM 8012 Fluid is an aminofunctional silicone-polyether fluid.

CHARACTERISTICS

Athon AM 8012 Fluid has been specially developed to feature excellent softening properties. No effect on color tone or solidity on dyed items.

APPLICATIONS

Athon AM 8012 Fluid features extra smooth soft hand. Self emulsifiable product, it is easily diluted in water. It provides a hydrophilic characteristic that can be applied diluted only or in formulations combined with other silicone or organic softeners such as fatty acid esters, paraffin and others according to previous evaluation. Can be applied by Foulard or Exhaust.

Athon MH 900 Fluid

DESCRIPTION

Athon MH 900 Fluid is a 100% active material based on polymethylhydrogen siloxane.

CHARACTERISTICS

•Cure resulting in a resistant film
•Curing time and temperature can be controlled
•Effective at low addition rates
•Can be diluted in solvents to improve dispersion

APPLICATIONS

Water repellent treatment for plaster: Athon MH 900 Fluid is added to the water to be mixed with the gypsum powder for plaster preparation. Good water-repellent properties are obtained by adding 0.2 to 0.5% Athon MH 900 Fluid relative to gypsum powder. The amount of water repellent varies according to the type of gypsum and the gypsum-water mixing ratio.

Treatment of Mineral Fillers: In this case, Athon MH 900 Fluid is used alone or, for example, with 3% glycoltetraoctylene titanate. The polymerization takes place at room temperature. It can be accelerated by heating for a few minutes at 150°C.

CAUTION: Do not take near potash or caustic soda or any other alkaline compound. There is a risk of a violent release of highly flammable products. Likewise, do not use in the presence of alcohols (or solvents containing a significant proportion of them) or other components containing reactive hydrogen atoms (SH, OH …), since the release of hydrogen gas may also occur in such cases.
