Softening
Composition
Aqueous media Softening agent
Particles in suspension
– Softening Agents (EsterQuat,…) are mainly supplied as solid/wax
– Dispersion made in water at controlled T°C & shear rate
These dispersions are subjected to stability issues & require additional thickening

in inverse emulsion
(oil-based system)
Swelling mechanism
Flosoft Polymer is released and
perform thickening
(water-based system)
Note : Compared to FlosoftFS222, the Flosoft FS222SI contents +50%
more of Inverting Surfactant, which bring easier inversion & handling .

Handling Flosoft Polymer
Flosoft Handling Procedure
1. Homogenize/stir Flosoft before use
2. Incorporate slowly Flosoft to your system while stirring (300-500rpm)
3. Keep on stirring until full homogenization
4. Ensure pH is in range 2,0-5,0. For optimized performance delivery, preferred range is 3,0-4,0
Advices for easier handling / better performances
Suited for batch and continuous production process
Flosoft can be added at any steps of your process (pre- and post-addition)
Parameter which can help for a better/faster homogenization are
Higher mixing speed (rpm)
Longer mixing time
Add Flosoft in initial water
Temperature
Addition of acidic material (citric acid,…)
Flosoft well inverted in water

Dispersing properties
Why use dispersants in laundry ?
• For years, STPP (Sodium TriPolyPhosphate = inorganic sequestrant for ions Ca2+) was used for hardness removal + soil dispersion.
• Zeolite has been prefered because of recuded impact on environment, but still not well biodegradable.
• As dispersing molecule, Flosperse PolyAcrylate are preventing fabric incrustation
by affecting Ca-type cristal formation
by keeping in suspension freshly removed soils from fabrics
Water hardness can interact with surfactant efficiency / detergency process
but also generate incrustation of fabrics due to Ca-species precipitation
