PERFASOFT SS

Application

Perfasoft SS is generally applied in the last bath under slightly acid conditions, e.g. pH 5 – 6 for 10 – 20 minutes at 35°C.

When processing cashmere or Lambswool knitwear the Perfasoft SS should be added to the last bath at a temperature of at least 35°C processing time will be dependent on machine type and finish required. For times less than two minutes a dwell of at least a minute should be built into the process to allow the Perfasoft SS to exhaust onto the garments.

A level of 1 – 3% of Perfasoft SS is recommended.
