Texnology® FCY055 Protective Agent contains no APEO (alkylphenol ethoxylates). It resists friction and easily passes anti‑wicking tests. It does not change the original hand feel or style of threads and tapes. This product causes no color change, so it does not affect the original color of the material. Unlike conventional water‑based repellents, you can reuse the bath and still get excellent water repellency. It shows no selective adsorption on threads and tapes – the treatment works consistently regardless of material type or padding sequence. You just let it air dry or dry at room temperature; no need to buy drying ovens (low‑carbon production).
Apply the water repellent as the final step.
After dyeing, wash tapes and threads as clean as possible.
Remove any acid, alkali, salt, or surfactant.
This ensures a uniform and consistent repellent finish.
Fully soak the tape or thread in the repellent solution.
Then let it air dry or dry at room temperature.
This gives excellent water repellency.
Practice shows: if you soak for 30 minutes or more, repellency improves clearly.
To avoid waste or higher production costs, you can recover and reuse leftover repellent after soaking.
◆ Before bulk production, run a small lab test first. This confirms the repellent result.
◆ For best performance with Texnology® FCY055, follow the “thoroughly dry, thoroughly wet” rule:
The tape or thread must be completely dry before you soak it.
Soak it thoroughly in the repellent.
After soaking, dry it completely – either air dry or oven dry.
