Softeners

Non-ionic softeners:

There are generally ether and polyglycol ester , ethoxylated products, paraffin and fats. This softener is generally less effected than Anionic & Cationic softener. This can apply in hard water , acid or base interment also with Anionic or Cationic softener. This softener is not contain any charge. Normally it is use by padding method.

Advantage:

*Fabric will be soft.

*Non yellowing.

*No shade change

*Suitable for white fabric.

*Can apply in hard water , acid or base interment also with Anionic or Cationic softener.

Disadvantage:

Cationic softeners:

This softener is made from ammonium salts, amino-esters and amino-amide. Cationic softener is called molecular softener because this softener make a cationic layer on the fabric layer. For this reason the fabric shade will be change.

Advantage:

*Fabric will be soft batter than any others softener.
