ADVALON® HO 111 is an extremely finely dispersed water-based silicone emulsion. The particle size is in the nanometer range. It can be easily diluted with water or readily incorporated into coldstirred formulations also it is manufactured to have a low content of low molecular weight cyclic siloxanes. ADVALON® HO 111 qualifies particularly for applications combining water repellent properties with softness, e.g. outdoor apparel. Imparts an excellent roll-off of water droplets as well as a very soft, drapable, and elastic touch to woven and knitted fabrics and improves the wash-and-wear properties and the crease recovery angle, sewability and tear strength and reduces abrasion loss.
