    This document describes RUCOFIN GWG 200, a concentrated silicone softener for textiles. It can be used to soften synthetics and blended fabrics. Key properties include soft handle, smooth texture, durability, and resistance to yellowing. It is stable over a wide pH range and compatible with many treatments. RUCOFIN GWG 200 can be added to finishing baths or exhaust processes to impart softness during washing or resin finishing. Proper testing is recommended when using with other chemicals.

    RUCOFIN GWG 200

    COMPOSITION Polysiloxane compound, weakly cationic

    USES Concentrated, process-safe silicone softener for textiles of all fibre types, especially for
    synthetics or blends with cellulosic fibres

    PROPERTIES - Confers very soft, inner handle effects


    - Increases the texile’s self-smoothing capacity
    - Durable to washing
    - Reduces losses of rubfastness and tensile strength in resin finishing
    - High resistance to yellowing
    - High shear stability and process safety
    - Applicable in a wide pH range (pH 1 - 9)
    - Compatible with many optical brighteners
    - Improves sewability
    - Compatible with electrolytes, suitable for resin finishing
    - Suitable for pad or exhaust processes (jet-stable)

    TECHNICAL DATA - Colourless, opalescent liquid (microemulsion)


    - Specific gravity at 20 °C ca. 1.0 g/cm³
    - pH value ca. 5
    - Resistant to hard water

    APPLICATION RUCOFIN GWG 200 is applied wherever natural, soft and hydrophilic handle properties are
    desired. The product is particularly suitable for resin finishing.
    This microemulsion excels especially in its high process stability and resistance to yellowing.

    In principle, when using silicone softeners, wash, rinse and acidify the fabric thoroughly after
    pretreatment to remove residual substances (anionic substances, size, etc.), which may
    cause liquor instabilities.

    RUCOFIN GWG 200 is stable up to an alkaline pH of 9. Reactive dyeings that react slightly
    alkaline can therefore be finished with RUCOFIN GWG 200 without any problem.

    RUCOFIN GWG 200 is diluted with cold or warm water (ca. 30 °C) and directly added to the
    finishing liquor. The finishing liquor should be adjusted with monobasic acids (eg acetic acid
    – do not use formic acid) to a pH of ca. 4.5 - 5.5 prior to the addition of RUCOFIN GWG 200
    to ensure optimum running properties and effects.

    The product is also suitable for applications in machines with high shear forces. In machines
    with high liquor turbulence (eg in jets, cheese dyeing machines), it is imperative to run
    pretrials when using RUCOFIN GWG 200 due to the multitude of machines. The product
    may occasionally tend to foam.

    Before using the product with other finishing agents, compatibility tests should be carried
    out.

    INFORMATION ON SPRAYING APPLICATION


    During the spraying of textile auxiliaries aerosols arise. They may be a potential danger for
    man. Therefore spray in closed installations only, or else discharge optimally and provide for
    good room ventilation to avoid spreading of the aerosols in the work environment. Do not
    breathe in aerosols!

    STORAGE If stored below 0 °C, the product may solidify and/or change its consistency. After heating to
    20 - 25 °C and thorough mixing, the product can be used again without any problems.

    ATTENTION The above recommendations are based on comprehensive studies and experience made in
    practical finishing. They are, however, without liability regarding property rights of third
    parties and foreign laws. The user should test for himself whether the product and the
    application are suited for his very special purposes.
    We are, above all, not liable for fields and methods of application which have not been put
    down by us in writing.
    Advice for marking regulations and protective measures can be taken from the respective
    safety data sheet.
