Durable water-absorbent softener

Silicolan AN-2001

Silicolan AN-2001 developed by Ipposha Oil Industries imparts fabric durable water absorbency and softness, both in use on its own or in combination with dimension-stabilizing resins.

Silicolan AN-2001, reputed for good maintenance of water absorbency and comfortable hand in cotton even after repeated soaping and laundering, is widely used in Japan and overseas.

Properties and Directions for Use

Silicolan AN-2001 has superior compatibility with other auxiliaries, such as resin-finishing, fluorescent-brightening, blueing or fixing agents, due to its anionic, cationic and nonionic properties. Suitable for use in whites as it causes minimal degradation in whiteness. Simultaneous use with highly water-repellent chemicals should be avoided as it will impede Silicolan AN-2001's otherwise outstanding water absorbency.
