PLC Asol
| Appearance | : | Transparent pale yellow liquid |
| Ionicity | : | Nonionic |
| Main constituent | : | Aqueous polyurethane resin |
| pH | : | Approx. 5.0 (stock solution) |
| Solubility | : | Easily dissolves in water in any ratio |
PLC Bsol
| Appearance | : | White emulsion |
| Ionicity | : | Cationic |
| Main constituent | : | Aqueous polyurethane resin |
| pH | : | Approx. 4.0 (stock solution) |
| Solubility | : | Easily dissolves in water in any ratio |
Features
| (1) | Effectively absorbs (catches) pollen such as that of the Japanese cedar and the Japanese cypress, preventing its dispersal into the air. Pollen so attached can be removed easily with light washing. The properties for pollen absorption and removal in washing have good durability with practically no deterioration even after repeated washing. |
| (2) | Produces a soft hand in treated fabric. While the structure of the special resin film results in strong adhesiveness or pollen, the fabric surface remains smooth, soft and free from tackiness. |
| (3) | Applicable for all types of fibers including cotton, rayon, polyester and acryl. |
| (4) | Causes no yellowing due to curing or otherwise color alteration after treatment. |
Method of use
The amounts used vary according to the kind of substrate and its surface, the following are considered to be standard for general usage.
| Queenseter PLC A sol. 1.5-2.5% sol. | Padding→drying |
| Queenseter PLC B sol. 1.5-2.5% sol. |
| ● | Although not especially required after treatment, curing will improve fastness to repeated washing. |
| ● | Preliminary testing of possible influences on the pollen absorption (catching) effects in cases of simultaneous use with other auxiliaries. |
| ● | Fastness verification is necessary. |
Example of performance test
| ● | Pollen absorption(catching) |
| ▼ | Specimens were placed in a bag containing 0.1g of lycopodium powder (spores of club moss), shaken 50 times, removed from the bag and lightly shaken before the quantity of attached pollen was determined. |

Substrate:Polyester
| ● | Soil/dust absorption(catching) |
| ▼ | Specimens were placed in a bag containing 1g of a mixture of akadama soil, standard soil and carbon black, shaken 50 times, removed from the bag and lightly shaken before the level of soiling was evaluated with the naked eye. |
