Silicone Oil Concentrate,Imparts a superior soft, bulky, and smooth hand-feel to fabrics while enhancing fiber elasticity and shape recovery

Silicone Oil Concentrate Features

Silky Softness & Wide Compatibility

Imparts a superior soft, bulky, and smooth hand-feel to fabrics while enhancing fiber elasticity and shape recovery. Compatible with various fibers including cotton, polyester, and nylon to meet diverse customer requirements.

High-Concentration Formula & Optimized Logistics 

With a 85% solid content, 1 ton of silicone concentrate can be diluted into approximately 5 tons of finished emulsion (at 18% concentration), effectively reducing long-haul freight and warehousing costs.

Technical Guidance & Processing Stability

Compatible with high-shear emulsifying equipment to form stable transparent micro-emulsions or macro-emulsions. It is designed to produce high-stability block silicone emulsions while addressing common industry issues such as oil floating and poor dispersibility.

Eco-friendly & Export Compliance

SVHC & Banned Chemicals Free | OEKO-TEX® 100 & ZDHC Compliant. Supporting high-end export growth.

Silicone Oil Concentrate Instruction

1. It is suitable for padding and exhaust process.
2. It is high content self-emulsifying block silicone oil. It cannot be directly used on fabrics. So it has to be emulsified and diluted before applying on textiles. It is easy to emulsify and dilute with normal equipment and process.
3. Please prepare all the chemicals before making the working solution.
4. It is recommended to use softening water (deionized water) to dilute. If no softening water (deionized water), please make a stability test before making the working solution.
5. Emulsifying Method:

   • Formulation (about 20% microemulsion):

     • Silicone Oil 72045: 100
     • Diethylene glycol monobutyl ether: 20
     • Emulsifier: 10 (Nonionic surfactants BASF To-5 is commonly used.)
     • Acetic acid + Water 1: 2 + 50 (Dissolve the acetic acid in the water.)
     • Water 2: 318
     • (Add preservatives if necessary)
     • Total: 500 parts

   • Emulsifying Process:

     • Stir Silicone Oil 72045 evenly and then use.
     • Put Silicone Oil 72045 and Emulsifier into the reaction kettle and stir it fully for 10 minutes, until it is evenly.
     • Slowly add Acetic acid + Water 1 and stir it fully and evenly for 10 minutes.
     • Add about 1/10 Water 2 and stir it fully for 10 minutes. (If it becomes hard gel, add a small amount of water to ensure that it is thoroughly mixed.)
     • Add about 1/10 Water 2 and stir it fully for 5 minutes.
     • Add about 1/5 Water 2 and stir it fully for 5 minutes.
     • Add about 1/5 Water 2 and stir it fully for 5 minutes.
     • Add the rest Water 2 and stir it fully for 5 minutes.
     • Place it for defoam and filter. Adjust the pH value to 4~6 by a proper amount of acetic acid. The transparent microemulsion is obtained.

6. Softening Process:

   • Padding Process:

     • For light and thin fabric, reference dosage: 10~20 g/L
     • For heavy and thick fabric, reference dosage: 20~30 g/L
     • The best pH range of working solution: 6.0~7.0
     • Padding and dipping (Pickup: 70~90%) → 160~170℃×60~90 seconds

   • Exhaust Process:

     • Reference dosage: 0.5~1.0% (o.w.f)
     • Bath ratio: 1:20
     • Process: 40~50℃×10~20 minutes → Dewater  → Drying (100~120℃)
