Application

Textile, Leather & Paper Finishing

Textile, leather and paper finishing rely on a thin layer of silicone at the surface for water repellency and hand feel. Fluorinated finishes face growing restrictions in several markets, which is one reason fluorine-free silicone options are being evaluated.

  • Manta WS370: fluorine-free emulsion for durable water-repellent finishing of outdoor apparel, technical fabrics and leather.
  • Manta EH101: methyl hydrogen polysiloxane emulsion, used together with a hydroxyl silicone emulsion such as Manta EH102 in textile finishing, and as a water-repellent and moisture-proofing agent for leather and paper.
  • Manta H101: methyl hydrogen silicone fluid for textile and leather treatment.
