Microencapsulated Phase Change Material Finishing Agent (PCM, 32C) is a microencapsulated phase change material designed around a nominal phase-change temperature of 32C.

The PCM core absorbs and releases latent heat around its transition range, while the shell helps keep the material contained as a processable milky to off-white aqueous finishing-agent dispersion. It is intended for research, prototype development, and industrial formulation trials where thermal buffering or temperature regulation is required.

Product Description:

Use this grade for textile finishing baths and coated fabric systems where a water-compatible PCM microcapsule dispersion is preferred. The product should be evaluated in the actual binder, substrate, and processing temperature profile before scale-up.

Phase Change Temperature:

Nominal PCM transition temperature: 32C. Confirm actual onset, peak, and enthalpy by DSC testing for critical applications.

Usage:

Typical starting range: 2-10% in the finishing bath or coating system, adjusted by target add-on and fabric performance.

Mixing Method:

Add to the textile finishing bath or coating binder under moderate agitation. Confirm binder compatibility, padding/coating pickup, drying temperature, and final hand-feel with a pilot trial.

Product Characteristics:

Appearance: milky to off-white aqueous finishing-agent dispersion

Composition: proprietary microencapsulated PCM system

Solubility / Dispersion:

Dispersible in water or compatible binders depending on grade and formulation. The microcapsules are not molecularly soluble; maintain uniform suspension during processing.

Storage:

Store tightly closed at room temperature in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid freezing, excessive heat, direct sunlight, and mechanical crushing.
