The use of the new hydrophilic textile softener makes clothes more comfortable to wear due to two effects: first, it increases moisture transport in textiles. Polyester fabric is rendered hydrophilic, i.e. can be wetted with water, while cotton remains absorbent after finishing. Second, WETSOFT NE 580 imparts a typical silicone silky-velvety hand, making textiles pleasantly soft.
