Features Of DOW DOWSIL 969 Silicone Emulsion

  1. Highly stable anionic silicone emulsion with excellent shelf life under ambient storage conditions.

  2. Provides superior softness, smoothness, and hydrophobicity to treated substrates without compromising breathability.

  3. Excellent compatibility with common textile auxiliaries, including anionic and nonionic agents.

  4. Low foaming profile suitable for continuous pad-batch and exhaust application systems.

  5. Eco-preferred formulation with low APEO content and compliant with major restricted substances lists (e.g., ZDHC MRSL Level 3).

Typical Applications Of DOW DOWSIL 969 Silicone Emulsion

  1. Cotton and cotton-blend fabric finishing for enhanced hand feel and wrinkle resistance.

  2. Nonwoven treatment in hygiene and medical products to improve drape and skin comfort.

  3. Knitwear conditioning for sportswear and activewear to reduce static and improve wearability.

  4. Home textile finishing for bed linens, towels, and upholstery fabrics requiring durable softness.

  5. Technical textiles such as filtration media and geotextiles where surface hydrophobicity and fiber lubricity are critical.
