Properties
GB-SO1073 is block silicone/silicone copolymer basic on amino
polyether modified polysiloxane, and it can easily emulsify to a stable micro
emulsion by simple stirring.
Emulsion of GB-SO1073 is highly stable, compatible with resin and
showed much better textile finishing performance.
Nonionic EMULSIFIERs are recommended to get a stable micro emulsion
based on GB-SO1073 to be prepared with the minimum of shear force.
GB-SO1073 is considered to be a excellent softening& good slippery
agent for cotton fabrics and cotton/PES blends.
As part of formulations used as fill fiber finish, GB-SO1073 imparts
excellent smoothness and resilience in the fiber.
Field of Application
GB-SO1073 is particularly suitable as an active substance in soft &
softener formulations for the impregnation of fibers and fabrics.
GB-SO1073 imparts a very soft, drapable, and smooth handle to woven
and knitted fabrics, with slow hydrophilic performance.
GB-SO1073 is considered to be the best softening agent for cotton.
cotton/PES blends fabrics , especial for knit cotton.
GB-SO1073 has very little effect on the degree of whiteness or color
change in a softener formulation under usual application conditions. Dissolving /Emulsification Method

( formula&components)

Process Recommended
1. Stir GB-SO1073 and emulsifiers until well mixed;
2. Dissolve glacial acetic acid in water (20% glacial acetic acid Concentration
will be better for usage), and charge into the mixture;
3. Slowly add the deionized water to the mixture of GB-SO1073 and
emulsifier(the mixture will become thicken), and increase mixing speed.
The deionized water is recommended charge step by step, such as 5%(as
the first charge consumption), 5%, 10%,10%, 20% and the residual.
Keep stirring for every step water added until mixture is homogeneous,
and try to avoid too much air was stirred into the emulsion.
4. Packed into barrels after filtration.
