UR-8911 Elastic Protective Agent
UR-8911 elastic protective agent is a functional additive specifically designed for fabrics containing elastic fibers such as spandex and Lycra. Its purpose is to prevent problems such as decreased elasticity, fiber breakage, or yellowing caused by high temperatures, strong alkalis, and oxidizing agents during dyeing, washing, and finishing processes.
By stabilizing pH, chelating metal ions, and providing antioxidant protection, it forms an effective barrier for elastic fibers, maintaining their original elasticity and resilience.
UR-8911 elastic protective agent is suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure dyeing, enzyme washing, bleaching, and finishing processes of blended fabrics such as polyester-spandex, nylon-spandex, and cotton-spandex. It can be added to the dye bath or finishing solution.
It can be widely used in knitting factories, denim washing factories, and garment manufacturers producing sportswear, underwear, and swimwear.
UR-8911 elastic protective agent significantly improves the elasticity retention rate and quality stability of finished products, reduces the defect rate, and enhances product competitiveness.
Technical Data Sheet
Introduction
Water Washing plants frequently face the issue of elasticity loss in jeans, which arises from multiple factors. These include the inherent strength and construction of the fabric, as well as the entire washing process involving enzyme washing and bleaching treatments etc. Improper control at any stage can lead to broken elasticity, resulting in significant financial losses for clients.
To address this challenge, our company has developed an Elasticity Protection Agent after years of dedicated research. This specialized additive UR-8911 Elastic Protective Agent is introduced into the working bath during the jean washing process to safeguard against elasticity loss. It has received consistent acclaim from washing plants for effectively resolving this persistent problem.
UR-8911 Elastic Protective Agent is particularly effective for jeans made from nylon, spandex, and their blends. It efficiently prevents the loss of tensile strength caused by high temperatures and thermal treatments, while also enhancing the fabric’s durability throughout the washing process.
Features
● Effectively protects the elasticity of spandex-blended fabrics and denim, preventing elasticity loss and delamination (bubbling).
● Significantly prevents the reduction in tensile strength of fibers caused by high temperatures and thermal treatments, while enhancing durability during the washing process.
● Does not adversely affect the hand feel or color of the fabric
