Resins for the Textile Industry

BERSET 2604 Is a melamine based resin with very low free formaldehyde content. It Is a very effective crosslinker and Insolublllzer for starch, protein, P.V.A., and latex In non-plgmented or pigmented coatings. When BERSET 2604 Is added to the coating color, good wet pick resistance and wet rub improvements are noticeable directly off the machine. 

Appearance Clear liquid Solids 65% active Viscosity 100+-20 cps. at 77F. 

BERSET 2425 is a melamine based coating insolubilizer. It is a very effective crosslinker for starch, protein, P.V.A., and latex binders in pigmented, or non-pigmented coatings. BERSET 2425 is sufficiently reactive so that 80-90% of insolubilization is achieved directly off the machine and completely developed within a day. Unlike other crosslinkers, BERSET 2425 has little or no effect on coating viscosities. BERSET 2425 has an advantage of having a very low free formaldehyde.

Dantoest . [Lonza] Dimethyl hydantoin esters intermediates for epoxies, urethane resins, and antistatic lubricants for the textile industry. 

Diethanolamine is used in the production of surface-active agents and lubricants for the textile industry as an intermediate for rubber chemicals as an emulsifier as a humectant and softening agent as a detergent in paints, shampoos, and other cleaners and as an intermediate in resins and plasticizers. 

Dimethylol dihydroxy ethylene urea (DMDHEU), a resin primarily developed for the textile industry, was used on wood (Scheme 9.4.9), e.g. beech... 

Properties and Applications. Poly(vinyl ethers) form soft resins which are very resistant to saponification and have good light stability. They are used as adhesives, plasticizers, and additives for the textile industry. 

Tetrahydronaphthalene [119-64-2] (Tetralin) is a water-white Hquid that is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in methyl alcohol, and completely soluble in other monohydric alcohols, ethyl ether, and most other organic solvents. It is a powerhil solvent for oils, resins, waxes, mbber, asphalt, and aromatic hydrocarbons, eg, naphthalene and anthracene. Its high flash point and low vapor pressure make it usehil in the manufacture of paints, lacquers, and varnishes for cleaning printing ink from rollers and type in the manufacture of shoe creams and floor waxes as a solvent in the textile industry and for the removal of naphthalene deposits in gas-distribution systems (25). The commercial product typically has a tetrahydronaphthalene content of >97 wt%, with some decahydronaphthalene and naphthalene as the principal impurities. 

One principal use of cyclohexanol has been in the manufacture of esters for use as plasticizers (qv), ie, cyclohexyl and dicyclohexyl phthalates. In the finishes industry, cyclohexanol is used as a solvent for lacquers, shellacs, and varnishes. Its low volatiUty helps to improve secondary flow and to prevent blushing. It also improves the miscibility of cellulose nitrate and resin solutions and helps maintain homogeneity during drying of lacquers. Reaction of cyclohexanol with ammonia produces cyclohexylamine [108-91-8], a corrosion inhibitor. Cyclohexanol is used as a stabilizer and homogenizer for soaps and synthetic detergent emulsions. It is used also by the textile industry as a dye solvent and kier-boiling assistant (see Dye carriers). 

In the category of silicone coatings used for surface modification of the specific substrates, functional silicone fluids are often used, which can selectively interact with the chemical groups of the substrate, thus modifying its surface properties. The use of functional silicones in the textile industry has been discussed in a number of recent publications.5 421 422 The use of different types of high-performace silicone-coated textiles, which include elastomers and resins, has recently been reviewed.423 The use of functional silicones in personal-care products, for example, in shampoos and hair conditioners, mentioned before,381 provides another well-known example. 

Although many radiation-grafted materials have been discovered, only a limited number of them have been commercially utilized. One of the first successful applications was the use of grafted films in battery separators. Other possibilities are in ion exchange resins and membranes for separation processes. The textile industry represents opportunities in improving... 

It is used in the manufacture of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), in the manufacture of copolymers with, for example, aciv lic acid, acrylates, vinyl acetate and acrylonitrile and in the synthesis of phenolic resins. About 10-15% of the monomer is used in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of PVP-iodine complex used as a disinfectant. It is also used as a reactive solvent of ultraviolet-curable resins for the production of printing inks and paints as paper and textile auxiliaries, and as an additive in the cosmetics industry (Harreus, 1993). 

Diethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OCH2CH2OH), is used in the production of unsaturated polyester resins and polyester polyols for polyurethane-resin manufacture, as well as in the textile industry as a conditioning agent and lubricant for numerous synthetic and natural fibers. It is also used as an extraction solvent in petroleum processing, as a desiccant in natural gas processing, and in the manufacture of some plasticizers and surfactants. 

Industrial separation membranes and ion-exchange resins can be made from chitin, especially for water purification. Chitin is also used industrially as an additive to thicken and stabilize foods and pharmaceuticals. Since it can be shaped into fibres, the textile industry has used chitin, especially for socks, as it is claimed that chitin fabrics are naturally antibacterial and antiodour (www.solstitch.net). Chitin also acts as a binder in dyes, fabrics and adhesives. Some processes to size and strengthen paper employ chitin. 

CNC CATALYST CC represents an organic catalyst solution of a common nature that has been accepted in the textile industry as a mild catalyst for resins for many years. It is extremely stable for long periods of time in resin baths at temperatures not normally encountered. Being a neutral material, no variation in finishing bath occurs from beginning of a run to the end. 

HERCOSETT 1 25 is a cationic, fiber-reactive, aqueous solution of a polyamide-epichlorohydrin resin. It is used by the textile industry for preventing felting shrinkage of wool, improving abrasion resistance of natural fibers, and as an antistat for synthetic fibers. 

VIKON FPB has found a number of interesting and valuable applications in the textile industry. It is an excellent additive for thermosetting resin finishes. It increases the tear and tensile strength and it adds body to the hand. VIKON FPB does not harm the crease angle and in many cases has improved it. 

Coumarone resins have been the subject of patents, notably for use in building materials and as protectives in paints and varnishes. Coumarone-indene (copolymer) resins are also much used added to rubber, they influence the vulcanizing rate and improve the strength properties of some synthetic rubbers. Coumaronic derivatives are used for bleaching in the textile industry and as inhibitors in the sulfochlorination of Kogasin. ...

Bis(2-chloroethyl)ether s former production and use in the textile industry and as solvent in natural and synthetic resins may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 1.55 mm Hg at 25°C indicates that bis(2-chloroethyl)ether will exist solely as vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase bis(2-chloroethyl)ether will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 5 days. If released into soil, bis(2-chloroethyl) ether has a high mobility. Many ethers are known to be resistant to biodegradation. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is an important fate process. If released into water, bis(2-chloroethyl)ether is not adsorbed by suspended solids and sediment in water. Volatilization from water surfaces is an important fate process. The volatilization half-life from a model river and a model lake is estimated as approximately 40 h and 16 days. Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether is a marine pollutant and its release to the sea is prohibited by the International Convention since 1973. ...
