In today’s textile market, with the increasing demands for functionality and comfort, synthetic fibers (such as polyester and nylon) and their blends with natural fibers are widely used in sportswear, functional underwear, outdoor fabrics and home textile products, etc. However, such fabrics often face two challenges in the dyeing and finishing process: Stiff handle and rough fabric surface, strong hydrophobicity and Slow moisture absorption cause uncomfortable for wearing. To address these issues, a high-performance chemical fiber softener has been developed, which offers functions such as softness, hydrophilicity, and washability. It has become an indispensable and important auxiliary in the finishing of high-end fabrics.
Action Principle of Chemical Fiber Softener
Mainly by forming a flexible silicone molecular film on the fiber surface, the chemical fiber softener can fill the microscopic gaps between the fibers, reduce the coefficient of friction, and at the same time introduce hydrophilic groups, so as to make hydrophobic fibers have better water contact ability. The essential advantage lies not only in improving handle, but also in improving comprehensive performance, as moisture absorption and quick drying, anti-static, anti-fouling and dust-proof and good washing fastness.
Applicable Fabrics and Processes
This softener is suitable for:
- Synthetic fibers, as polyester and nylon, etc.
- Blended fabrics, as Polyester/cotton, nylon/cotton and nylon/viscose fiber, etc.
- Close-fitting fabrics, as functional sportswear, yoga clothes, a backing shirt and swimwear, etc.
- Fabrics that have a high anti-static requirement.
- Home textile fabrics, such as curtain fabric and bed sheet fabric, are required to be both soft and washable.
Key Performance Advantages
- Excellent softness and dry and smooth handle
- The treated fabric is soft and fluffy, with a natural and skin-friendly feel.
- Excellent hydrophilicity and breathability
- Improves the moisture-wicking performance of chemical fiber fabrics and makes them suitable for wearing next to the skin.
- Washable, wear-resistant and do not become stiff
- After being washed several times, fabrics remain the same. Not greasy. Not influence the color fastness.
- Anti-static, anti-fouling and dust-proof
- Suitable for functional fibers used in a dry environment or a scene with easy-to-produce static electricity.
- Extremely low yellowing and low shade changing.
- It can be safely used in light-colored, white and bright-colored fabrics. Not influence the color performance.
- High stability and equipment adaptability
- It can be used in the padding process and the exhaust process. Good resistance to temperature, electrolyte and shear force.
Application Process Suggestion
| প্রক্রিয়া | Dosage | Process Parameter |
| Padding process | 10–30 g/L | 160–170℃×60–90s |
| Exhaust process | 1.0–3.0% o.w.f | 40–50℃×10–20min, Drying at100–120℃ |
| Bath ratio | 1:20 | The best pH is 6.0–7.0. |
| Cautions | Stir it evenly. Avoid exposure to high temperatures for a long time. |
