Americos Flame Retardant 7290 will enable treated cotton and polyester/cotton blends to pass various vertical flame retardant specifications, such as California drapery standards Title # 19, NFPA-701, Federal Test Methods 5903. Etc.

Advantages

• Non- yellowing and has soft hand
• Non-corrosive when fabric is in contact with metals
• May also be applied on 100% polyester fabrics
• Durable to repeated dry cleaning but not durable to laundering

Properties

Appearance	Water white liquid
pH	5.5-6.5
Ionic nature	Anionic
Solubility	Miscible with cold tap water in all proportions
Storage	Up to one year

Usage :
The Concentration of the pad formulation of Americos Flame Retardant 7290 applied to polyester/cotton blends or 100% polyester will depend upon the flame retardant specifications to be met. For vertical flame tests such as NFPA-701, California drapery tests, New York City requirements, etc., we suggest a dry add-on of 15 -25% based on the weight and construction of fabric. Pad the fabric through a finish solution containing Americos Flame Retardant 7290 35- 60% (ows) to an 80% wet pick-up and dry. The concentration of the pad bath may be adjusted for fabric at 150°C or below to avoid any tendency toward yellowing the cotton portion of the blend.

The addition of 1% (ows) Americos Flame Retardant 7290 to the stock bath will assist in wetting out and penetration. This is especially beneficial when treating tight constructions. Normal wetting agents are ineffective in flame retardant solutions. Americos Flame Retardant 7290 has no wetting properties in plain water; it is an excellent wetting agent and penetrate when used in solutions containing Americos Flame Retardants.

Usage continued :
The chemicals in this compound are composed of a water solution of salts. Concentrated solutions accidentally spilled on the skin or in contact with the eyes should be thoroughly rinsed with water.

Storage & Handling Precautions:

• Store in cool place
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight
• The shelf-life of Americos Flame Retardant 7290 is one year if stored below 40°C
• The usual precaution in keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin should be observed

Americos Poly-Urethrin Resin (Paper Finish)
Americos Poly-Urethrin Resin is made from blends of polyurethane based dispersion resin for imparting paper finish on fabrics and garments. Obtaining paper like feel on textile requires a fine flexible coating which is fulfilled by Americos Poly-Urethrin Resin. The product also contains built-in softening agents and hence treating textiles with Americos Poly-Urethrin Resin also imparts soft and smooth feel of textiles.

Advantages :

• Since Americos Poly-Urethrin Resin is made from special polyurethane dispersion resin with selected molecular weight, it imparts paper finish to textiles
• The built-in softeners improves the soft feel
• It also increases the shade depth

Properties:

Appearance	White liquid
Chemical character	Polyurethane base dispersion resin
Ionic nature	Non-ionic
Solubility	Soluble in water

Application:
The fabric should be thoroughly washed before application of any urethane base resin and hence, it is essential to make sure that the product is thoroughly washed prior to application of Americos Poly-Urethrin Resin.

The dosage requirement of Americos Poly- Urethrin Resin varies with the type of material and the structure, but the standard recommendation is 15–20 g/l.

Storage & Handling Precautions:

• Store in a cool place
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight
• The usual precaution for chemicals should be observed i.e. keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin

Americos Nanodure SGDS (Stain-guard finishing agent for dust, sand & dry soil)
Americos Nanodure SGDS is a special stain-guard finishing agent of the dust, sand and dry-soil (mud, clay) staining. Americos Nanodure SGDS can remarkably prevent attaching these staining on the fabric, and can easily be removed these staining from the fabric. Therefore the clean fabric is always keeping.

Americos Nanodure SGDS is effective for all kinds of woven and knit fabric such as cotton, wool, polyester, nylon, acrylic, and their blends. And this stain-guard effect has the good durability under repeated washing.

Chemical composition:

Appearance	Semi-transparent liquid
Ionic activity	Cationic
pH	7–8
Main component	Special modified nano-size particle’s water dispersion
Solubility	Easily soluble in water

Characteristics:
Americos Nanodure SGDS has the powerful stain-guard effect against of the dust, sand, and dry-soil (mud, clay) staining. And this effect has the good durability under repeated washing.

• It is effective for all kinds of woven and knit fabric such as cotton, wool, polyester, nylon, acrylic, and their blends.
• Handling touch does not become hard after finishing, and water absorbency does not fall.
• No. yellowing and no color change after finishing, and various kinds of fastness does not be fallen.
• Curing or heat set is unnecessary.
• It does not contain the harmful substance such as formaldehyde.

Application:
Americos Nanodure SGDS can be used by padding method, dipping method, or spray method.

Dosage:

Padding method	5–10% soln. Pad » Dry
Dipping method	5–10%owf. Dip » Squeeze » Dry

{Normal temperature. X 10 min. Dipping Bath ratio 1:10 }

• Curing or heat set is unnecessary. But if it was done, it is on problem for the satin-guard effect.
• It can be used together with other finishing agent. But preliminary test must be done very well, because there are some cases where the stain-guard effect is fallen.

Stain-guard effect:

• Put “a original fabric & a finished fabric” and “sand (1g)” into a small bag, then this small bag is waved in every direction 50 times.
• After take each fabric out of this small bag, and lightly beat each fabric.
• Then compare with the remained quantity of the sand on the surface of each fabric.

Precautions in storing:

• Storing in normal conditioned sheltered area. Keep cool and dry. Sealed up.
• Caution to freeze.
