Daikin, Dow Develop Unidyne™ TG-5521
Fluorochemicals provider Daikin has introduced a line of protective and repellent products for textiles that it says is better for the environment than other options.
Daikin’s new Unidyne TechnaGard Series, made with fluorine-based chemistry in a C6 platform, offers water and oil repellency and stain-release properties. The series has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In other news, Daikin and Dow Corning have jointly developed another product for fabric protection. They say the new Unidyne™ TG-5521 fabric treatment delivers the advantages of two complementary chemistries: the superior oil and water repellency of fluorine and the softness of silicone.
Unidyne TG-5521 also is available in the new C6 fluorine platform, which enhances the product’s environmental benefits.
“People have had some success by mixing chemicals, but putting everything in one molecule gives better all-around performance where a soft hand is desired, and allows the mill to concentrate on product quality and productivity,” said Mike Ladd, Unidyne brand business manager, Daikin America.
