Polyether-modified water-soluble silicone oil
Water-soluble silicone oil (polyether-modified silicone oil) achieves its water solubility by introducing hydrophilic groups through the addition of hydrogen to polyether on the side chains of low-hydrogen silicone oil. It can be used in fabric finishing, daily chemical products, paint defoaming, and leveling. This product is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and environmentally friendly, soluble in water or dispersed in water, alcohol, and acetone, making it an ideal fabric finishing agent. It is easy to use, can be used in the same bath as resins, and exhibits high shear stability in the finishing bath without demulsification or oil separation issues. Using this product to finish fabrics can significantly reduce resin usage, lower costs, and improve economic efficiency.
Features
• Softness: Fabrics treated with this product are soft, smooth, comfortable to the touch, and elegant in style. It imparts a silky feel to thin fabrics and a woolen feel to thicker fabrics.
• Hydrophilicity: Fabrics treated with this product have excellent hydrophilicity, good breathability, and excellent wearability, eliminating the dryness, stuffiness, and lack of sweat absorption associated with synthetic fiber fabrics.
• Antistatic Properties: Fabrics treated with this product have good antistatic properties, low static electricity, are not prone to dust attraction, have a certain degree of stain resistance, and are easy to wash.
• Shrinkage Resistance: Fabrics treated with this product have good dimensional stability, making them particularly suitable for shrinkage resistance treatment of wool fabrics.
• Elasticity: Fabrics treated with this product have excellent elasticity, with significantly improved rapid and delayed elasticity, and a crisp texture.
Main uses
Water-soluble silicone oil is a reactive, nonionic surfactant, soluble in water, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, ethanol, acetone, etc. This product is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and environmentally friendly. Water-soluble silicone oil can be used alone in aqueous solution on fabrics or added to resin finishing baths. It is suitable for various fiber fabrics, such as polyester, nylon, cotton, cotton-polyester blends, wool, and rayon, significantly improving fabric feel, antistatic properties, and enhancing wash resistance and stain resistance.
• Water-soluble silicone oil is widely used in daily chemical products, such as various ointments, emulsions, and shampoos. Hair washed with shampoo containing water-soluble silicone oil is fluffy, soft, shiny, and easy to comb.
• Water-soluble silicone oil is also used in the leather industry as a major component of high-grade leather smoothing agents and finishing agents. It imparts a smooth, glossy, soft, and comfortable feel to various natural leather surfaces.
• Water-soluble silicone oil is also an excellent additive for various coatings, improving their leveling properties and resulting in a smooth and glossy finish.
Water-soluble silicone oils can also be used as plastic additives and mold release agents.
