Special Feature of P E N A R - 13:
- P E N A R - 13 show excellent penetrating effect in 15 - 30%. aOH solution and is very useful as an auxiliary for mercerization process of cotton textile.
- P E N A R - 13 is extremely low foaming type surfactant and prevents foam trouble.
- P E N A R -13 is also useful as accelerator for weight reduction process of polyester fabrics.
How to Use P E N A R - 13:
Principally use P E N A R - 13 at the ratio of 3g / liter - 7g / liter but this varies with treatment conditions and treated fabrics.
Packing of P E N A R - 13:
In 35 kgs. Drum.
