The application of water repellent finishes is a critical step in textile manufacturing, significantly impacting the final product's performance and marketability. C6 water repellent agents, offered by NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD., provide a leading solution for achieving superior water and oil resistance. However, optimizing the application process is key to unlocking their full potential.

### Understanding the C6 Application Process
C6 fluorocarbon water repellents are typically applied to fabrics using standard textile finishing machinery, such as padding machines. The general process involves immersing the fabric in a prepared solution of the repellent, followed by squeezing to achieve a specific wet pick-up (e.g., 70-100% based on fabric weight), and then drying and curing at elevated temperatures. The exact parameters will depend on the specific fabric type, the concentration of the repellent, and the available equipment.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. recommends a typical dosage range of 10-40 g/L for general applications. However, it is always advised to conduct trials to determine the optimal concentration and conditions for your specific fabric and desired level of repellency. The C6 chemistry, when properly applied and cured, forms a durable finish that resists washing and dry cleaning, ensuring long-term performance.

### Key Factors for Optimal Performance
Several factors are crucial for achieving the best results when using C6 water repellent agents:
  • Fabric Preparation: Ensuring the fabric is clean and free from contaminants like oils, sizing agents, or softeners is vital. Proper scouring and bleaching processes are essential for optimal adhesion and performance.
  • Concentration and Wet Pick-up: Accurately controlling the concentration of the C6 agent in the finishing bath and ensuring consistent wet pick-up across the fabric width are critical for uniform repellency.
  • Drying and Curing: The drying temperature and time, followed by a curing phase at a specified temperature (often around 150-180°C for a few minutes, depending on the specific product and fabric), are essential for the cross-linking reaction that locks the C6 finish onto the fibers. Inadequate curing can significantly reduce wash resistance and overall durability.
  • pH Control: Maintaining the correct pH of the finishing bath is important for the stability and effectiveness of the C6 formulation.
