Alcoguard series has been developed as a special film forming agentdesigned specifically for aid of ironing outperforming conventional starch-

base film former.

Whats Easy and Neat?

Alcoguard can deliver :

1. Clarity of finished goods

2. Minimum whitening flake on dark color cloth

3. Stain removal assistance

4. Wrinkle resistance

5. Easy to formulate without special equipment6. Minimum time and energy to produce

To Answer to Common Customers Needs

INGREDIENT %

DI WaterAlcoguard 1.8 as activeDC 193 (as lubricant, DOW) 0.5 as supplySynperonic NP 9 (as solubilizer) 0.5 as supplyGrotan TK2 (as preservative) 0.1 as supply

Remark : It is essential to strictly follow all additives recommended to avoid

incompatibility issue in final formulation due to anionic charge of Alcoguard . Level of

stiffness could be adjusted to preference by varying polymer dose rate.

Clarity of Finished Product

Figure-1 : Comparison of clarity appearance

between the Prototype formula (ALG series)

and the commercial speed starch formula

Low Whitening Flake on Dark Color Cloth

Figure-2 : Whitening Flake after iron ing,

left (ALG) right (starch)

The whitening flake usually

happens right after ironing

by using speed starch

formula. It can be demonstrated to

minimize this feature with

the prototype ALG formula.

Stain Removal AssistanceTest Procedure :1. Apply Prototype ALG or a speed starch

on cotton cloth. (~100 cm2) at

coating weight 5 g then do ironing at

max. temperature til l dry.

Note : The control sample is also

prepared by not applying any.

2. Apply Mustard, Chi li sauce, Ketchup,

Sour sauce, Mixed fru it juices and

Coffee at coating weight 1 g/ circle 2

inches.

3. Dry the cloths in oven 50 C for 1 hr.

4. One set of specimen is to be washedby Electro lux, Aquashower 500, 2 hrs

with detergent (Attack Colortec)

and another set is to be washed

without any detergent.

It appear the Prototype ALG is likely

higher performance as stain removalassistance

Wrinkle Resistance

Figure-6 In Example 1 (Sample A) a white cotton (100%) shirt waswashed at a commercial dry-cleaner and starched to a medium sti ffness.

A similar shi rt (Sample B) was treated with AlcoGuard (5% spray

concentration) and ironed to reach the same stiffness level.

As the pictures indicate,

the shirt treated with Alco-

Guard has superior

wr inkle resistance/recovery

over conventional ironing

aids

Ease of Ironing and Slippery Test

Figure-7 : A Simulation of Ironing Slippery Test

IRONING SLIPPERY TEST PROCEDURE :

1. Prepare new cloths on a wooden support where is sloped 20o and 60 cm. in length.

2. Keep cleaning surface of the iron and maintain temperature as maximum scale.

3. Spray the sample 15 times homogenously on the cloth.

4. Release the iron from the top end and measure a using time when the iron reach the

down end.Each sample are to be test 10 times X 4 sets then to find an average result.

5. The less time used is considered to be higher ironing slippery.
