Products Overview
Honesoft® QL-532 is a cationic ultra-soft softener oil supplied as a light-yellow transparent liquid. Developed for cotton, terry cloth, denim and similar fabrics, it imparts an exceptionally soft handfeel and excellent hydrophilicity. Easy to dilute and dissolve, with good compatibility and low-temperature fluidity, and AEEA-free, it meets international textile eco-standards. Derived from natural oleochemicals, it suits both exhaust and pad finishing processes.

Application Scenarios
1. Softening finish for cotton, terry cloth, denim, etc.
2. Exhaustion process.
3. Padding process.
4. Post-finishing steps with high demand for softness and hydrophilicity.
Process Flow
【Recommended Use】
Softening finish for cotton, terry cloth, denim and similar fabrics.
【Dilution Requirement】
QL-532 is a concentrated softener oil and must not be used directly; predilute it to a 5% – 10% solution first (too high a concentration sharply raises viscosity and harms re-dilution performance).
【Reference Dilution Process】
1. Add water at 20–30°C to the dosing tank (if below 20°C, heat to 30–40°C before use).
2. Add QL-532 while stirring, and stir at medium speed until fully dispersed and dissolved with no visible particles.
Note: dissolving in warm water (40–60°C) speeds up dissolution and improves the handfeel.
3. Filter and discharge for later use.
【Typical Dosage】
- Exhaust: 2.0–10.0% o.w.f. (on 10% dilution);
- Pad: 20.0–100.0 g/L (on 10% dilution).
The actual dosage may be increased or decreased for special fabrics or finishing requirements.
Note: this section describes the customer-side recommended compounding / application process, not the factory's proprietary manufacturing process, which is not disclosed.
Storage & Transport
【Storage】
Store in the original sealed pack at room temperature for up to 12 months. Keep sealed in a cool, ventilated and dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to air or storage under extreme heat / cold; prolonged high temperature may cause discoloration and deterioration.
【Transport】
During transport keep the pack sealed, leak-proof and protected from impact; handle gently and keep away from heat and ignition sources.
Note: being oleochemical-based, the product may show slight sedimentation, or thicken/cloud at low temperature and thin/clear at high temperature - all normal physical changes that do not affect performance; stir the whole drum thoroughly before dilution.
FAQ
Q1: How is it used?
A: Predilute to a 5% – 10% solution before use; never use directly. Dissolve and filter per the reference process.
Q2: What is the recommended dosage?
A: Exhaust 2.0–10.0% o.w.f.; Pad 20.0–100.0 g/L (both on 10% dilution); adjust for special fabrics or requirements.
Q3: How is the handfeel?
A: Imparts an exceptionally soft, smooth handfeel with excellent hydrophilicity.
Q4: Behavior at low temperature?
A: Oleochemical-based - may thicken or cloud at low temperature; this is normal and does not affect performance; stir the whole drum thoroughly before dilution.
Q5: Is it eco-compliant?
A: AEEA-free and compliant with international textile eco-standards; always consult the latest MSDS before use.
