Silicone is mainly used as lubricant, fabric finishing agent, defoaming agent and anti-sticking agent for yarn and textile machinery in textile industry, which plays an important role in improving textile quality and technology.
1, silicone fabric finishing agent
Although synthetic fiber has many excellent advantages, but the feel is relatively rough and hard, affecting the visual effect, tactile effect and use performance of the fabric, so it is necessary to finish the fiber and textile. Silicone fabric finishing agent has good comprehensive properties, not only can meet the wear resistance, tear resistance, wrinkle resistance, crisp, ironing, and feel soft, elastic and super smooth, so it is widely used.
(1) pure silk fabric and silk knitwear anti-wrinkle, avoid ironing finishing after finishing of silk fabric has soft, thick, smooth, high elasticity, wrinkle resistance, applications include shrinkage of pure silk crease resistant finishing, pressing silkworm silk soft finishing, triacetate/nylon imitation silk fabric softening, silk knitwear from iron, etc.
The outstanding advantage of silicone wool finishing agent is that the wool does not degrade chemically in the process of finishing, at the same time, it reduces pilling and is resistant to dry cleaning. Moreover, the finished clothes still retain the original softenness of the wool, which achieves the effect of super washable or "emboss". It is applied to the shrunk-proof finishing of woolen sweaters and the finishing of thin woolen blended fabrics
(3) fabric water-repellent finishing Various fabrics treated with silicone water-repellent agent can get the following effects: waterproof, bulky, soft, breathable, elastic, washable, wrinkle-resistant, but also increase the wear resistance, tear strength and smooth hand feel of the fabric, improve its sewing performance. It can be used for water repellent finishing of vinylon tarpaulin, polyester/cotton fabric, nylon silk, etc.
(4) Used as the soft finishing of polyester chemical fiber fabric, it can make the fabric feel soft, smooth, crisp, elastic and have a certain fullness, and can improve the crease resistance, tear strength and air permeability to a large extent. It can be used for soft finishing of pure polyester knitwear, yarn-dyed polyester/viscose medium length fabrics, etc.
