Softening finishes cationic

Most non-polymeric antistatic finishes are also surfactants that can orient themselves in specific ways at fibre surfaces. The hydrophobic structure parts of the molecule act as lubricants to reduce charge buildup. This is particularly true with cationic antistatic surfactants that align with the hydrophobic group away from the fibre surface, similar to cationic softeners (see Chapter 3, Fig. 3.1). The main antistatic effect from anionic and non-ionic surfactants is increased conductivity from mobile ions and the hydration layer that surrounds the hydrophilic portion of the molecule since the surface orientation for these materials places the hydrated layer at the air interface. 

CNC SOFT C-1 is a cationic, synthetic softener which is recommended in any application where a soft, luxurious hand is required. The product is a good all purpose softener/lubricant, but it can be incorporated into resin mixes to prevent harshness of hand which is quite common in polyester-cotton finishing. 

CNC Soft G-1 is a subtstantive cationic softener which imparts a soft, slick hand to synthetic fibers, but particularly for acrylics such as orIon, acrilan, etc. CNC SOFT G-1 can be applied from long or short baths in such equipment as becks, paddle and package machines. CNC SOFT G-1 is cold water soluble and can be added directly to the finish bath. 

CNC SOFT IG is a cationic, synthetic softener that is used in conjunction with thermosetting resins to produce smoothness on fabrics which normally finish harsh due to surface resins. 

This material is a substantive, cationic, high solids fatty amide type softener designed for use and softening efficiency on synthetic fibers as well as cotton and synthetic blends. The product is supplied as a soft paste readily soluble in water and useful in thermosetting resin finishes. 

This material is a cationic substantive amide softener designed for use on both synthetic and cellulosic fabric to supply excellent softness, sewability and some antistatic properties. This softener exhibits good resistance to yellowing and is compatible with a variety of textile finishing formulas. 

Cationic softener that imparts a full, soft hand without adverse effect on water absorbency of cotton. Designed for finishing toweling, hosiery, and other goods where absorbency is critical. Resists yellowing, scorching. Can be applied by exhaust or pad methods.
