TECHNICAL DATASHEET
EcoTexTM -SL55 - PVA FREE ONE-SHOT PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION Powder types unique one-shot product which needs no extra native starch, modified starch, binder, softener, lubricant to be added further. It is mainly used for Shuttle-less loom woven warp yarns counting above the 40s to 60�¢??s Cotton.
Products are made from grafted starch, anionic polymers, and synthetic fatty matters. It contains a maximum of 13% moisture and an optimized viscosity level. Easily disperse in cold water with little swelling property due to high binding property.

COOKING METHOD
1. Fill the required quantity of water in a cooker
2. Gradually add EcoTexTM-SL55 and min for 2 min.
3. Close the pressure cooker lid.
4. Open the steam value and cook to @ 120�? �ºC or 35psi.
5. Retain in the cooker for 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Then transfer the size mix to storage.
PROPERTIES
1. Moisture regain:
The formation of thin flexible film absorbs water molecules from atmospheric air that maintains the required moisture content of the sized yarn. This property improves the weaving efficiency by reducing the warp stops.
2. Film property:
The very thin strong film gives the inter fiber penetration that improves yarn tensile strength. Optimum elongation and flexible property significantly reduce warp break by overcoming the applied tension during weaving.
3. Abrasion resistance:
The strong film withstands the mechanical friction between yarn to yarn and yarn to machine parts like reed, dropper pin, heald wire, weft picking element.
DE-SIZING
Easily de-sizable product with hot alkali treatment.
STORAGE
Keep away from direct sunlight and store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
STABILITY
Stable for one year from the date of manufacture.
PACKING
