Texfin® BPF - Highly established, high performance, cost effective fluorocarbon finish
Technical Properties
Semi-durable fluorocarbon finish predominantly for high quality cost effective finishing on synthetic and synthetic / cellulosic blended fabrics. It is also particularly suitable for cost effective performance finishing on carpet substrates.
Application
To achieve maximum performances, substrates are required to be free from surfactants / salts and are neutral prior to finishing.
Application levels will vary from substrate to substrate and preliminary trials are recommended to determine optimum levels, however the following figures should provide a suitable starting point.
Fabrics
| 100% Cotton | 20-50g/l at approx 70 % p/u |
| Polyester/Cotton | 20-40g/l at approx 70 % p/u |
| Nylon & Polyester | 15-30g/l at approx 70 % p/u |
Typical dry and cure conditions are 160°C for 1 – 2 minutes
Carpets
100g/L Texfin® BPF
20g/L Foaming agent (i.e.Texfin® PWG)
Auto Foam set at 10% Wet pick-up and 20:1 Blow Ratio
