Silicone softener for textiles is a type of chemical substance that can change the static and dynamic friction coefficients of fibers, and softening is an important finishing process in printing and dyeing.
Silicone softener for textiles role
1. Replenish the natural oils lost in natural fibers during refining, bleaching and other processes to make the hand feel more ideal.
2. Attached to natural fibers or synthetic fibers to improve smoothness and strength and improve hand feel.
3. Improve the wearing performance of fabrics through certain properties of softeners.
Silicone softener for textiles function
1. Under various soft processing conditions, the working fluid must be very stable.
2. Does not reduce the whiteness and dye fastness of fibers or fabrics.
3. The fibers or fabrics after softening treatment are not susceptible to discoloration by heat, and there should be no changes in color, feel, or smell during storage.
4. If the softener is an emulsion, its emulsion stability should be better.
5. According to different processing requirements, it can have appropriate water absorption, water repellency, anti-static and other properties (should be selected according to different requirements of the fabric). It is resistant to washing or dry cleaning.
6. No adverse effects after human skin contact.
There are many types of textiles with different fibers, and the fabric specifications, uses and finishing requirements are different, so the selection of softeners is also different. Softeners that meet the requirements should be selected based on the softening mechanism and functions of various softeners.
In addition, the performance of each softener is always limited. To obtain good results with multiple properties, you can use two or more softeners in combination (or compound them into a new softener product). ), to bring you better soft, plump and smooth feel.
