Industrial Application Scenarios
Targeted solutions based on substrate material and technical requirements:
Textile Finishing (Natural & Blends)
Suitable Grades: TX 6461 E, TX 6401 E, TX 6052 E
Function: Improves sewability, tear strength, and crease recovery angle. Imparts a very soft, smooth, and elastic touch to woven and knitted fabrics.
Synthetic Fibers (Nylon & PES)
Suitable Grades: TX 6251 E
Function: Delivers excellent surface slipperiness and rebounce. Offers a slightly hydrophobic nature along with a color deepening effect.
Industrial Release & Lubrication
Suitable Grades: TX 6350 E
Function: Withstands up to 50°C emulsion stability. Acts as a mould release agent for rubber/plastics and a high-performance lubricant for yarn and sewing needles.
Personal Care Formulations
Suitable Grades: TX 5103 E
Function: A safe, 30% solid, light blue translucent emulsion highly suitable for rinse and leave-in hair products, styling aids, and bath products.

Technical FAQs
+Q: What is the recommended dosage for the padding process?
A: For most TX series grades (like TX 6461 E and TX 6052 E), a dosage of 5-30 g/L is recommended for the pad method. Always conduct compatibility tests prior to full-scale application.
+Q: Can these emulsions be used via the exhaust method?
A: Yes. For example, TX 5103 E can be applied at 1-3% relative to the weight of goods, treated at 40~50℃ for 15 – 20 minutes.
+Q: Do these formulations require the addition of a catalyst to crosslink?
A: Grades such as TX 6052 E and TX 5103 E are formulated to give permanent softening effects even without the addition of a catalyst.
