The new polyether modified silicone oil introduced reactive epoxy groups on the silicon-oxygen chain to improve the feel and durability of the fabric.
Aminosilicone oil softener is a substance that can increase the softness of fibrous materials. The softener with excellent performance can also make the fiber get special feel, endowing the product with different finishing styles, improving the quality and added value, and increasing the comfort of the clothing.
According to their main active components, the softeners used in industry can be divided into four categories: oil type, surface active dosage form, reactive type and polymer type.
The first three types of softeners were used in the early stage. After entering the 1970s, the development and use of polymer softeners soon attracted people's attention and became the mainstream of soft finishing. In the polymer softener series, silicone softener (mainly composed of polysiloxane) has the best performance and maximum yield.
According to statistics, there are about 150,000 tons of siloxane used in textile finishing auxilifiers worldwide, among which the softener accounts for 70% ~ 80%.
