Silicone oil emulsion is widely and deeply used in the textile industry, and has become a key additive to improve fabric quality and processing efficiency.Its core functions cover multiple dimensions such as soft finishing, waterproof and antifouling, antistatic treatment and wear-resistant enhancement, and provide systematic solutions for the diverse needs of textiles.


In the field of soft finishing, hydroxyl silicone oil emulsions and amino silicone oil emulsions show significant advantages.Through the permeability of the molecular chain, the hydroxyl silicone oil emulsion can penetrate deep into the fiber to form a hydrophobic protective layer, so that high-end fabrics such as silk and cashmere can obtain a silky smooth touch while maintaining their natural texture.


The wrinkle resistance of the treated fabric has been increased by more than 30%, and the initial softness of 90% can still be maintained after 50 washes.The amino silicone oil emulsion forms an elastic film on the surface of cotton, wool, and chemical fiber through the chemical bonding of amino groups and fibers, which increases the fullness of the fabric by 25%. It is especially suitable for antistatic treatment of synthetic fibers, which can reduce the static accumulation rate to less than 5%.


The waterproof and antifouling function is achieved by a modified silicone oil emulsion.The nano-scale hydrophobic structure constructed by the fluorine-containing silicone oil emulsion on the surface of the fabric enables the water contact angle to reach more than 150°, and at the same time has the performance of oil-proof grade 6 or above, which is widely used in outdoor functional fabrics.


Through the introduction of phenyl silicone oil emulsion, some products can achieve anti-siphon time of more than 24 hours while maintaining breathability to meet special needs such as medical protective clothing.


Continuous breakthroughs in antistatic and wear-resistant enhancement technology.The application of amino silicone oil emulsion on polyester fabrics can reduce the surface resistivity to below 100Ω/□, effectively solving the problem of chemical fiber pilling.The polyether-modified silicone oil emulsion forms a dynamic lubricating film on the surface of the fabric through the ethylene oxide group in the molecular chain, which increases the wear resistance to more than 100,000 times, which is especially suitable for tooling fabrics.


In terms of process adaptability, silicone oil emulsions show excellent compatibility.As a non-ionic emulsion, methyl silicone oil emulsion can be used in the same bath as waterproofing agents and flame retardant agents. The formula with a solid content of 60% has excellent stability in high temperature setting at 130℃.Vinyl silicone oil emulsion reduces the breakage rate by 40% in high-speed spinning, and its lubricating properties reduce yarn hair feathers by 35%.


The special silicone oil emulsion developed for the digital printing process can increase the ink permeability by 20% and the color fastness reaches level 4-5.


Industry data show that the added value of textiles sorted by silicone oil emulsion can be increased by 20%-30%.With the promotion of environmentally friendly amino silicone oil emulsions, its biodegradable rate has reached more than 85%, and it is gradually replacing traditional APEO-containing products.


In the future, the research and development of intelligent and responsive silicone oil emulsions will promote the upgrading of the textile industry in the direction of functionalization and differentiation.
