Dow Corning ® HV 495 Emulsion for Easier Ironing Fabric Care Expertise from Dow Corning Benefits of Dow Corning ® HV 495 Emulsion for Easy-Iron Fabric Care Formulations • Provides lubricity to the treated fabric • Reduces friction between the fabric and the iron • Makes ironing easier, saving time, effort and electricity • Adds softness without negatively impacting water absorbency Make Clothing Care Less of a Chore That polished, wrinkle-free look and crisp feel of freshly pressed clothing can be a real confidence builder. But in today’s busy world, consumers have little time or energy for ironing – which is why easy-care fabric finishes and laundry aids that speed and simplify the ironing process have become increasingly popular. Formulate Rinse-Cycle Softeners and Spray-On Aids That Take Time, Trouble Out of Ironing In the textiles industry, silicones are widely used in fabric finishes to improve softness and lubricity, impart wrinkle resistance, and ease ironing. You can restore these benefits, which the laundry process wears away over time, by including silicones in your rinse-cycle fabric softeners and conditioners. Another proven way to speed and simplify clothing care is to add silicones to your spray starch and ironing-aid formulations. Rely on Proven Dow Corning ® HV 495 Emulsion Dow Corning® HV 495 Emulsion is a 35% active aqueous silicone emulsion that has proved its effectiveness in ironing-aid applications. Containing a high-molecularweight reactive polysiloxane that reduces static and sliding friction between the fabric and the iron, Dow Corning HV 495 Emulsion makes ironing easier. Consequently, the ironing process goes faster, saving the consumer both time and electricity. Friction Coefficient – Against Fiber Direction 0.6 Static Sliding Graph shows variation of static and sliding friction coefficients measured against direction of fibers; a lower friction coefficient indicates
