Protector that beads up

[tmdry]

Which protector will bead up?

Scotchguard or Maxim?

 

[carpetcleaner]

A lot will bead up on demo cards, just not for me in real life applications.

According to the DuPont guys, the better a protectant resists acid dyes, the less it will bead water. The latest Teflon Advanced is actually a poorer acid dye blocker because carpet cleaners wanted it to bead water and bought other products when it didn't. It beads water better now.

Bill;

The solvent-based fluorochemicals will provide the best water repellency and "beading".

Oil repellency is also superior.

That would be Dynachem Ultraseal in our product line:

P.S. Bryan- It also resists red acid dyes very well.

I'm using Green Guard and it works plus you get the whole non-toxic thing with the customer and they like that.

Green Guard does not bead at all though. I think he was asking for a product that beads. Green Guard works though!

We have been using ultra seal from cobbs with great success and on the thicker carpet and on Cgd it beads water very well after two applications.

We have a test area in a long standing account that we never use any chess on anymore just hot water and it comes out perfect for two years now. By the way it is in the entrance of a child care facility.

I don't think beading is the ultimate test of performance. My testing agrees with DuPont that the products with acid dye resistors tend to bead less. For beading, I would get the present version of DuPont Teflon Advanced.

Well.

All in all, which would make the best all around protector for Nylon?

 

[Mikey P]

I use Cobbs Ultra as well



but beading only happens on carpet thats never been walked on or vacuumed IMO

Thanks for the feedback, I just ordered 2 gallons of Cobbs, the price cannot be beat and I like the fact I don't need to dilute anything, just pour it right into my hydroforce jug.

Bill;

Thanks for the order.

Just so there is no confusion . . .

the protector for the injection sprayer is Ultraseal 5/1
