Solvent Protectors

[Desk Jockey]

Wouldn't the protector actually be the same in both water and solvent?

And wouldn't the reason that it could possibly work better be that the solvent carrier penetrates better than water as a carrier, there by delivering the protector more effectively to the fiber?

I like solvent based protectors for applying to upholstery here in our plant, but I never have been too keen on applying it to carpet, due to odor and remote but slight flammability concerns.

I thought years ago that the major carpet manufacturers didn't want solvent protectors on their carpets? Is that no longer true?

Lee, I've read them.
And there is no there, there!

Carpet manufacturers only want fluorochemical protectors applied to carpets.
(their concern was with silicone solvent protectors)

Odor has been reduced greatly.

Good formulations are non-combustible.

thanks Larry that is what I remember. The silicone left a soil attracting residue.
