WETSOFT® LV 720
WETSOFT® LV 720 is a concentrated, nonionic micro emulsion of a self-dispersing silicone copolymer.
Properties
By improving hand and because of its hydrophilic nature, WETSOFT® LV 720 considerably improves the wear comfort of textiles.
The hydrophilic properties are the result of the special orientation of WETSOFT® LV 720 on the fiber surface. This allows unrestricted moisture transport within the fabric, together with the excellent hand that is generally associated with high-quality silicone textile softeners. Due to the surface oriented silk-like and supple softness effect it is particularly suitable for light woven goods where hydrophilic properties are of importance.
WETSOFT® LV 720 has limited compatibility with anionic auxiliaries such as optical brighteners. Compatibility tests should be carried out before it is used together with other chemicals.
WETSOFT® LV 720 offers a low content of cyclics.

Data sheets
WETSOFT® LV 720 is used for hydrophilic treatment of fibers and textiles of all kinds.
On hydrophilic substrates such as cellulosics, the hydrophilic properties are not usually affected, whereas hydrophobic substrates such as polyester usually experience a clear improvement in wetting properties.
WETSOFT® LV 720 provides woven goods and knitwear with a silk-like soft, full bodied, bulky, supple and smooth hand. When applied under normal conditions WETSOFT® LV 720 only has a slight effect on whiteness. It does not generally affect the color shade or fastness of colored goods.
WETSOFT® LV 720 can be applied by padding or via exhaust process. It may be used on its own or together with organic fabric softeners, polyethylene waxes and other finishing agents. The compatibility should be tested on a case-by-case basis.
For padding, it is recommended to use 5 to 15 g/l of WETSOFT® LV 720.
For the exhaust process, 1 to 2 % WETSOFT® LV 720 is used, based on the weight of the textile.
