New dimensions in polyester fiber and fiberfill
Based on the most innovative silicone polymer technologies designed for the Polyester industries TERRASOFT® OPE serie Silicone Emulsion for Polyester Fiber & Fiberfill is a new-generated finishing agent developed specificly to impart elasticity, as well as to improve mechanical, thermal and chemical resistances, and surface quality of the polyester fiber and fiberfill. It is also ideal to provide specific properties such as friction resistance, rebound resilience, high comb performance, antistatic effect and reduced water absorbency.
When combined with a suitabe Silane from TERRASIL® SILANE range,TERRASOFT® OPE is applied as elastomeric coating on polyester fibers. The benefits of the application are long lasting elasticity and rebund resilience, permanent softness and volumeness, durable shine with 3D effect, a stronger fiber structure, clumping prevention, increased heat resistance, improved comb performance, antistatic effect, and well-regulated water absorption.
TERRASIL® SILANE for fiber-reinforced polyester (FRP) conmposites
Used as coupling agent in resin modification, silanes are widely used in the fiberglass and composites industries to produce different materials such as FRP composite parts, boats, vessels, roofs, storage tanks, pools, trucks, panels, automobile parts, wind blades, fiberglass woven roving, chopped strand mat, etc. They help to improve mechanical strenghts, electrical properties, resistance to moisturre attacks ,finer strand integrity, protection and handling, to protect and treat the integrity of the fiber chain, to impart resistance to hot solder during fabrication, and to enhance the performance in cycling tests from hot to cold extremes. TERRASIL® SILANE serie Silanes offered by TERRA can meet every need in terms of providing all these benefits. They can be readily applied by various methodes, for instance spray up, hand lay up, mold press, sheet molding compound (SMC) and glass fiber sizing.

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS
TERRASOFT® OPE 2144
Functional Slicone Fluid Emulsion
A nonionic macro emulsion of silanol terminated polydimethylsiloxane. It is mainly used as finishing agent in Polyester fiberfill finishing as well as elastomeric coating in surface treatment applications for polyester nonwoven textiles. It imparts soft touch efffects and elasticity at the same time. This product is also used in glass fiber, as additive for paints and surface coatings to impart elasticity, high mechanical strength, friction resistance and high heat resistance.
