Description

Quilon(R) S Chromium Complex CAS NO 15242-96-3 is a specialized organometallic compound widely recognized as a premier water repellent and sizing agent. Its core value lies in its ability to form durable, hydrophobic films on various substrates, significantly enhancing their resistance to moisture, oils, and other liquids. This product is essential for manufacturers in the leather, textile, paper, and surface treatment industries seeking to improve product performance and longevity.

Application

• Leather Waterproofing: Primary application for imparting durable water repellency (DWR) to leather goods, including footwear, apparel, and upholstery.
• Textile Finishing: Used as a hydrophobic sizing agent for fabrics, enhancing stain and water resistance in technical textiles and outdoor gear.
• Paper Sizing: Applied to improve the water and grease resistance of specialty papers, packaging, and paperboard.
• Surface Treatment: Functions as a coupling agent and water repellent for inorganic surfaces like glass, ceramics, and certain metals.
• Mold Release Agent: Utilized in rubber and polymer processing to prevent adhesion to molds.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Provides a protective hydrophobic layer on metal surfaces to mitigate corrosion under specific conditions.
