Silicone oil is known as the "texture magician" in the textile printing and dyeing industry. With its unique modification technology and surface treatment capabilities, silicone oil demonstrates remarkable advantages in fabric softening, fluffiness optimization, and wrinkle resistance, elevating ordinary fabrics into high-end products with exceptional texture.
Traditional softeners either leave fabrics stiff or fail to provide long-lasting softness, but modified silicone oil perfectly solves these problems. By forming a flexible and elastic protective film on the fiber surface through a special block structure, it reduces friction, making the fabric soft and smooth, without causing stickiness or yellowing like oil-based softeners. For example, after being treated with silicone oil, baby knitwear maintains a baby-soft feel even after 20 washes and has passed skin irritation tests, ensuring its high safety.
The "micro-spring" effect of silicone oil is unique. It attaches between fibers like a micro-spring, expanding the fiber structure to maintain a full, fluffy form, without compromising the fabric's breathability. High-end towels and bathrobes commonly use this technology, resulting in a 40% increase in fluffiness and a 30% improvement in water absorption. The towel feels thicker and more comfortable, while shedding is reduced. For synthetic cotton-like fabrics, silicone oil can improve their stiffness, making them feel more authentic and significantly increasing the product's added value.
Silicone oil's stability plays a crucial role in wrinkle resistance and durability. It forms a strong bond with fiber molecules, helping fabrics recover from wrinkles through the elasticity of the film, while resisting the wear and tear of washing and friction. After silicone oil treatment, the wrinkle recovery angle of suit fabrics improves to over 150°, and the anti-wrinkle effect remains 80% even after multiple dry cleanings. In addition, silicone oil enhances fabric color fastness, reducing dye loss during the dyeing process and keeping garments vibrant and long-lasting.
