AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ Functions and Features
Features of Fluorinated Water and Oil Repellent Agents
Water resistance occurs when surface tension (surface energy) of the solid surface is lower than the liquid surface tension. (* See diagram )
The perfluoroalkyl group (Rf group) exhibits very low surface tension. Solid surfaces coated by Rf groups resist not only water-soluble liquids (such as water, coffee, or milk) but also highly-active and aggressive liquids such as oil, and alcohol.
Fluorinated water/oil repellant agents are recognized as superior to wax or silicone based agents because of their excellent stability and durability in real-world conditions.
General Chemical Structure of the AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™
The perfluoroalkyl group (Rf group) exhibits very low surface tension. Solid surfaces coated by Rf groups resist not only water-soluble liquids (such as water, coffee, or milk) but also highly-active and aggressive liquids such as oil, and alcohol.
Water and Oil Repellent (Oil Resistant) Functions
Comparison water repellency tests between textile treated by AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ and untreated fabric are shown in the video. And comparison grease proof properties tests between paper boats treated by AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ and untreated paper boats are also shown in the video.
SR (Stain Release) Functions
AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ also includes SR (stain release) products which can easily remove stains from textiles during washing.
Comparison SR properties tests between textiles treated by AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ and untreated fabrics are shown in the video.
Outstanding Stain Resistance
Since the AsahiGuard E-SERIES ™ can provide outstanding water and oil repellency to various types of textiles, it can give them excellent stain resistance (preventing various type of stains). It can prevent stains from not only water-soluble liquids (such as water, coffee, or milk) but also highly-active and aggressive liquids such as oil, alcohol, and gasoline.
Certification and Registration as a Chemical Substance in Various Countries
Registered as a chemical substance in Japan, AsahiGuard E-SERIES is registered in many other countries including the United States, Europe, and Asia. For details, please inquire with us. (click here)
