Properties

FLEXOFIX FL. is normally applied in the padding procedure. The product is compatible with the usual synthetic
resins and catalysts.

Softening and lubricating agents counteract the non-slip effect. For this reason their application should be
reduced to a minimum.

The product may be applied on all materials which have an insufficient non-slip property and seam stability but
particularly on linings made of viscose and synthetic fibres.

Application Technique

Diluting Instruction

FLEXOFIX FL. is added directly to the baths and is dispersed evenly by stirring.
