Texicryl® 13-218

Texicryl® 13-218 is an APEO-free acrylic copolymer emulsion, designed for use in surface bonding and the through-bonding of synthetic fibre wadding. It is widely used as a high-loft, non-woven fabric binder, and is also ideal for use as a stiffener for window blinds.

Self crosslinking Styrene acrylic emulsion

Developed for use in surface bonding and through-bonding of synthetic fibre wadding. It will effectively prevent penetration of the fibres through the cover fabric, preserve the high loft of the wadding and facilitate handling during the making-up process. It has excellent heat and light-stability, as well as good wash and dry-clean solvent resistance.

Texicryl® 13-218 is widely used as a high-loft non-woven fabric binder. Drying and Curing Cure of emulsion binders is dependent on the polymer type, catalyst concentration, temperature and time.

Texicryl® 13-218 is supplied ready-catalysed and, after drying, must be cured for 2-3 minutes at 140°C. It is recommended that synthetic fibre waddings processed with Texicryl® 13-218 be dried and cured in hot-air ovens with efficient air movement to ensure removal of water vapour during the drying phase. When dried and cured under these conditions, Texicryl® 13-218 will confer dry-clean resistance, washfastness and good recovery from compression. Texicryl® 13-218 has an indefinite pot life at normal spray-bonding concentrations (10-25% solids content).

Texicryl® 13-218 has a non-detectable formaldehyde level according to Oeko-Tex® testing, ISO 14184-1 2011
