Advantages of Block Polymers

Performance

Best compromise between softness and hydrophilic properties

Moisture management on textiles, active hydrophilization of polyester

fabrics

Usually high color neutrality, low yellowing on white fabric

Hand feel can be finetuned by combining Quat / Non-Quat structures

Quats perceived to provide special, more bulky hand character

Process stability

Often better compatibility with optical brighteners, compared to pure

amino fluids

High flexibility in formulation, needs low amount of emulsifier if any

Quats ensure high exhaustion rates without using cationic additives /

(co)emulsifiers
