The application of silicone oil emulsion has had a positive impact on the textile industry in many ways, significantly improving the functionality, processing efficiency and product added value of textiles, while promoting the technological upgrading and environmental protection development of the industry.The following is the specific impact analysis：


1. Improve the functionality of textiles
Softness and smoothness: Silicone oil emulsion can significantly improve the softness, smoothness and fullness of the fabric.For example, amino silicone oil emulsions perform well in the finishing of cotton, wool, silk and other fibers, making the fabric more delicate to the touch and more comfortable to wear.


Antistatic properties: Silicone oil emulsion can be adsorbed on the surface of the fiber to reduce static electricity generated by friction, especially for synthetic fibers.This helps to improve the processing performance and wearing comfort of textiles, and reduce quality problems caused by static electricity.


Waterproof and antifouling properties: Some modified silicone oil emulsions can give fabrics certain waterproof and oil-proof properties, so that textiles have a wider range of application prospects in outdoor, medical and other fields.


Enhanced durability: Silicone oil emulsion can form a protective film on the surface of the fabric, improve the washability, wrinkle resistance and wear resistance of the fabric, and extend the service life of the textile.


2. Optimize textile processing technology
Improve processing efficiency: Silicone oil emulsion as a lubricant can reduce the coefficient of friction between the fiber and the machinery, reduce the temperature rise of the needle, prevent needle holes, and improve sewing efficiency and quality.


Simplify the process flow: silicone oil emulsion can be used in the same bath as functional additives such as waterproofing agents, flame retardant agents, antistatic agents, color fixing agents, etc. to reduce processing steps and reduce production costs.


Improve the dyeing and printing effect: silicone oil emulsion can increase the hydrophobicity of the fabric and improve the dyeing effect; in the printing process, it can improve the adhesion of the pigment and prevent the pigment from falling off.


3. Promote the upgrading of textile products
Meet high-end needs: The application of silicone oil emulsions enables textiles to have various functions such as softness, antistatic, waterproof and antifouling, which meets consumer demand for high-quality clothing and enhances the market competitiveness of products.


Development of new types of textiles: The combination of silicone oil emulsions and other materials (such as polyurethane, acrylic acid, and organic fluorine) can form coatings or prints with special functions, promoting the development of textiles in the direction of functionalization and differentiation.


4. Promote environmental protection and sustainable development
Environmentally friendly products: Modified amino silicone oil emulsions have lower VOC emissions and are more environmentally friendly.As a defoamer, food-grade emulsified silicone oil has low toxicity and has been proven non-toxic by clinical trials, which meets environmental protection requirements.


Energy saving and emission reduction: The application of silicone oil emulsion can reduce energy consumption and wastewater discharge in the textile processing process, and promote the transformation of the textile industry to green production.


V. Expand application areas
Cross-industry application: Silicone oil emulsions not only play an important role in the textile industry, but also are widely used in leather, papermaking, rubber, plastics, cosmetics, food and other fields, providing the possibility for the integration and development of the textile industry and other industries.


Innovative application model: The application of silicone oil emulsion has promoted the integration of the textile industry with other high-tech fields, such as smart textiles and functional textiles, and provided new ideas for the innovation and development of the industry.
