Polyurethane is an incredibly resilient, flexible, and durable

manufactured material that can take the place of paint, cotton,

rubber, metal, and wood in thousands of applications across all
fields.

Polyurethane might be hard, like fiberglass, squishy like

upholstery foam, protective like varnish, bouncy like rubber
wheels, or sticky like glue.

Since its invention in the 40s, polyurethane has been used in

everything from baby toys to airplane wings, and continues to be
adapted for contemporary technology.

Nowadays we expect textiles to meet far higher standards. They

have to be functional practical, easy care & attractive.

The only way to meet these demands is by using modern

finishing methods.

These involve some degree of mechanical finishing, but

processing chemicals also play a major role.

To improve permanency of fluorocarbon finishes
Shrink resist & felt free treatment on wool
finishes.
Permanent press finish.
Dimensional stability on knit wear
Hydrophilic finishes.
Improvement in pilling behavior.
Improvement in crock fastness
3-D Ripple print on cellulosic
Tear strength improver for cellulosic
For handle modification like peach handle, soft
suede type effect etc
Water Oil Repellent Finish:
Aquarepel XAN: Blocked polyisocynate. One of the
main problems of water and oil-repellent finishing with
FC derivatives is wash fastness. Wash fastness can be
improved substantially by crosslinking the FC resins
with Aquarepel XAN a fluoro carbon extender.

 Felt Free Wool Finishes:

Dermaset BAP: An additive for felt free finishing of wool. Treated Untreated

The advantage of Dermaset-BAP is that it can be used

on woven & knitted woollen fabrics without oxidative
pretreatment(chlorination), so it is more environmentally
friendly than alternative processes. This process has
recently become important because applying this
treatment after prescouring ensures problem free
dyeing of woollen fabrics on jet units plus felt free
finishing. This process makes it possible to use pure
wool fabrics for machine washable trousers, shirts &
skirts.
 Crease Resist Finishes:
Crease-resist finish that enhance dimensional stability are the most important finishes for
cellulosic fibres. Cellulosic crosslinking agents, especially formaldehyde-based products,
are used for this. There is the problem of free formaldehyde .

Labeling and consumer protection organizations are enforcing with manufacturers to

minimize the free formaldehyde content of textiles. The maximum limit for clothing worn
next to skin are generally 75-300 ppm. The limits for children’s clothing are far lower.
Low formaldehyde & formaldehyde free crosslinking agents require stronger catalyst
because of their reduced reactivity. This catalyst tend to reduce the mechanical
properties of cellulosic fibres. This is particularly critical in case of viscose.

Combining formaldehyde containing cross linker along with Permafin-UR gives following
advantages:

Finishes with low free formaldehyde content.

High dry & wet crease recovery.
Excellent self smoothening.
Reduced loss in tenacity.
Improved abrasion resistance & enhanced dimensional stability.
 Improvement in Pilling Behavior
Conventional Finish Permafin UR Finish
Hydrophilic Finish:

Permafin-UR as an absorbency & handle

improver; suitable for polyester, cellulosic,
woolen goods.

Improvement in pilling behavior &

crock-fastness: Improvement in crock fastness
Dry wet
Permafin-UR can be used to produce a soft
handle without increasing the fabric tendency to
pill. The dry and wet crock-fastness of vat &
sulphur dyeings can be improved by applying a
finish of Permafin-UR. Without Finish

Finished with 40 g/l Permafin-UR

 Easy Care Finish:

Permafin-Nano-PU, for easy care, high

elastic & various elegant finishes.
Maximum elastic recovery & voluminous
handle. Suitable for cellulosic, synthetic &
woolen goods.

3-D Ripple Print:

Permafin-RPP for special 3-D ripple

print on cellulosic goods.
