NYP-100 Hydrophilic & Antistatic Finishing Agent for Nylon / Polyamide Fabric – Non-ionic Water-Dispersible Textile Auxiliary, 125kg Drum
NYP-100 Nylon-Specific Hydrophilic & Antistatic Finishing Agent
Turn hydrophobic nylon into a moisture-wicking, static-free fabric — with as little as 0.2% dosage and zero compatibility conflicts.
NYP-100 is a 100% active, non-ionic hydrophilic finishing agent engineered for nylon and polyamide fabrics. It transforms the naturally water-repellent, static-prone surface of nylon into a comfortable, skin-friendly textile that wicks moisture away instantly:
- Powerful wetting — lowers bath surface tension to 28.6 mN/m at 0.1%; penetrates nylon in 12 seconds at 45 °C for instant, uniform finish.
- Extreme low-temperature fluidity — pour point −13 °C. Pumps and pours cleanly in cold warehouses — no heaters, no winter downtime.
- Zero-conflict compatibility — non-ionic structure mixes with anionic, cationic and non-ionic additives. No precipitation, no exclusion effects.
- Built-in antistatic — eliminates nylon static during wear, cutting and stenter finishing; keeps fabric bright and dust-free.
- Global inventory listed — all components registered on AICS, IECSC, EINECS, KECL, PICCS, TSCA, DSL and HSNO. Export-ready.

How to Apply
- Dye-bath addition: add NYP-100 at 0.2 – 0.5% o.w.f. directly into the dye bath after dyestuff has exhausted; run 15 – 20 min at process temperature. Compatible with most acid and disperse dye systems on nylon.
- Stenter / padding application: pad at 0.2 – 0.5% with 60 – 80% pickup on the stenter or padder, then dry and cure per your normal setting — consistent finish across full fabric width.
- Always follow the technical datasheet and run a lab trial before bulk production for new combinations.
