Quilon Products Product Overview Quilon is a dark green solution, largely in isopropanol, of a chemically reactive complex in which a C14-C18 fatty acid is coordinated with trivalent chromium. Seven grades are available: Quilon C, M, S; higher-strength Quilon H, L, and C-9. Quilon reacts with polar groups on paper, leather, nonwovens, woven fabrics, polymers, and other negatively charged surfaces. When cured, Quilon forms an insoluble layer of polymerized complex that is chemically bounded through chromium to the available polar groups on the substrate surface. The hydrophobic fatty acid chains are oriented away from the surface. When mixed into aqueous polymer systems such as starch, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyvinyl acetate, the chromium reacts with active groups on the polymer chains, effectively insolubilizing polymer films upon drying. The most noticeable characteristics of treated surfaces are release property and water repellency.
