BIOPHILL HS is a sophisticated Hydrophilic Silicone Softener designed to provide a premium, buttery hand-feel to textiles while maintaining or enhancing their natural moisture-wicking properties. Unlike traditional silicones that can make fabrics water-repellent, BIOPHILL HS is engineered with a unique molecular structure that allows for rapid water absorption. This makes it the ideal finishing agent for high-quality cotton knits, towels, and athletic wear where both exceptional softness and breathability are required.
Key Benefits:
Superior Hand-Feel: Imparts an extraordinary silk-like softness and smoothness to the fabric surface.
Instant Hydrophilicity: Ensures finished garments remain highly absorbent, allowing for rapid moisture transport and improved wearer comfort.
Non-Yellowing: Excellent thermal stability ensures that the fabric maintains its original whiteness or shade brilliance even after high-temperature curing.
Improved Elasticity: Enhances the stretch-recovery and drape properties of knitted fabrics, providing a high-end finish to the final garment.
Application Guidelines:
Usage: Primarily applied during the finishing stage via padding or exhaust methods for cotton, viscose, and their blends.
Dosing: Apply at 10 to 20 g/l for padding applications, depending on the desired level of softness and the weight of the substrate.
pH Control: For best results, maintain the finishing bath at a slightly acidic pH (5.5 – 6.0).
