TexCare Gemini SG Terra

Fabrics made from polyester and polyester/cotton can be difficult to clean when they are soiled with oily or fatty stains. Such stains adhere strongly to the hydrophobic synthetic fibers, which are then only poorly wetted by the washing liquor.

If these fabrics are washed with a detergent containing a soil release polymer from the TexCare series, e.g. TexCare® Gemini SG Terra, the soil release polymer is adsorbed onto the hydrophobic fibers and forms a hydrophilic film. This prevents the soil from adhering directly to the fibers. Furthermore, the affinity of hydrophobic soils for the hydrophilic film is reduced significantly compared to the untreated fibers. This makes it much easier to remove oily stains from the fabric during subsequent washing.
