SECTION 10: CRITICAL WARNINGS AND BEST PRACTICES

CRITICAL WARNINGS:

Cationic Incompatibility: Dicrylan PHR is an anionic product; contact with cationic products causes coagulation (precipitation). Do not use in the same bath with cationic products.

Freeze Sensitivity: Product is sensitive to freezing; do not store below 5°C.

Formaldehyde-Free: Product is formaldehyde-free; suitable for environmentally friendly applications.

Heat Treatment: Proper heat treatment is essential for optimum durability.

BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS:

  1. Preparation: Clean and dry the textile surface thoroughly before application.

  2. Mixing: Mix with water or solvents according to manufacturer instructions.

  3. Application: Select the appropriate method (brush, spray, dip, pad, foam).

  4. Drying: Allow sufficient time for complete drying.

  5. Heat Treatment: Apply heat treatment at recommended temperature and time.

  6. Pretrial: Pre-trials are recommended for each specific application.
