Alviron PAW , a micro emulsion of modified fatty acid esters, is a protective levelling and micrating agent for dyeings of polyamide, wool and mixtures with cellulosic fibres. It has a softening effect that prevents the formation of creases and streaks and also significantly improves the elasticity of treated goods. A unique development to improve the hydrophilicity of goods it gives a soft, dry and velvet handle.
Moisture transport is enhanced thereby improving wear comfort.
The product can be applied by exhaust or padding, is resistant to yellowing and sublimation and improves sewability and form gliding properties. It produces a very good surface smoothness on yarns of polyester, polyamide and mixtures with cellulosics. The company claims that fibre metal friction is considerably reduced. The product can be used on white goods, since it exhibits only a slight yellowing. The slightly oily consistence of the active substances produces a better adhesion of the surface oligomers, so dusting of yarns during processing is reduced considerably.
