MESIL® Amino-Modified Textile Silicone Emulsions
Bottom Line Up Front: High-performance aqueous polydimethylsiloxane emulsions with non-volatile solid contents ranging from 30% to 63%. Engineered to impart exceptional softness, drapability, and elastic hand to cotton (CO), polyester (PES), viscose (CV), and synthetic blends. Select grades offer permanent effects without the need for catalysts.

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.
