Deposition time should be considered as an important parameter in the assessment of the electrospraying process as an application alternative because it would determine the treatment time and cost of the application. In this study, commercially available textile softeners and liquid repellents on electrosproyed on a collecting ground to statistically investigate the effect of the intrinsic properties of the chemicals and set-up parameters of electrospraying on the deposition time and to find out the mathematical relation between the deposition time and selected parameters. The results showed that the process had a higher deposition time when the chemicals were poured in diluted emulsions. Also the chemical type and electric field intensity had a strong contribution.
