Application fields:
Anti-dustmite finishing agent EMP AM-100 performs highly effective for mite with excellent durability and good safety. The agent exerts no negative influence on the whiteness, shade, tenacity, touch and permeability.
The agent is for washfast protection against dust mites for home textiles including filling materials. Application is possible on all common types of fibres and fabrics except pure polypropylene.
Applications examples include: Mattress ticking, protecting mattress covers and supports, quilts, pillows, bed sheets, pillow covers, quilt covers, curtains, textile wall coverings as well as upholstery fabrics and furniture filling materials.
Advantages:
- Washfast protection against dust mites
- Having no influence on the colour or whiteness of the textiles
- Meeting Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class-IV.

Non- ionogenic |
| Solubility |
Dispersible in water. Soluble in esters and glycols. |
| pH value |
pH of 1% solution is 5.5 - 7.5. |
| Compatibility |
Can principally be applied in combination with others textile chemicals such as foaming agents, resins, binder systems, uorocarbons, anti-soil products, softeners, antistatic products and ame retardants. Compatibilities, however, should be tested in advance. |

| Fastness |
Wash-fast up to 60°C. Highest wash-fastness can be achieved on cotton in combination with EMP FIX-ET. Fast to dry cleaning as well as light, rubbing and ironing. No effect on handle and electrostatic charge. Fastness of formulations with other textile chemicals should be tested in advance. |
Application
| Concentration |
Wash-fast anti dust mite protection up to 10 times, 40°C: 1.5-2.0% of EMP AM-100 relative to the dry weight of the textiles to be finished.
Wash-fast anti dust mite protection up to 30 - 50 times, 60°C: 1.5-3.0% of EMP AM-100 in combination with 2-4% EMP FIX-ET relative to the dry weight of the textiles to be nished. |
| Padding |
Undiluted EMP AM-100 should be added to the bath as last component while stirring to homogenity. Optimal results are achieved at pH 4-7. The absorption properties may be improved by adding a wetting agent. |
| Foam application |
EMP AM-100 should be mixed into the foam bath according to the instructions for the foaming agent. To obtain sufcient penetration on medium-thick and thick fabrics, foam application must be made on humid material. |
| Coating |
EMP AM-100 can be mixed with aqueous back-lling. The compatibility has to be checked beforehand. |
| Spray application |
EMP AM-100 can only be sprayed in diluted form (at least 1:50 with water). Spray applications have to comply with occupational health requirements. |
| Further treatment |
The goods are dried without any further rinses. The drying temperature should be kept as low as possible. |
