Advantages of Block Polymers
Performance
Best compromise between softness and hydrophilic properties
Moisture management on textiles, active hydrophilization of polyester
fabrics
Usually high color neutrality, low yellowing on white fabric
Hand feel can be finetuned by combining Quat / Non-Quat structures
Quats perceived to provide special, more bulky hand character
Process stability
Often better compatibility with optical brighteners, compared to pure
amino fluids
High flexibility in formulation, needs low amount of emulsifier if any
Quats ensure high exhaustion rates without using cationic additives /
(co)emulsifiers
