Fluorosilicone oil is widely used in leather processing. Its special chemical structure and properties enable leather to show better waterproof, anti-fouling and wear-resistant properties after processing. The following is a detailed analysis of the application of fluorosilicone oil in leather processing:
1. Waterproof and anti-fouling properties of fluorosilicone oil
Due to its unique fluorine atom structure, fluorosilicone oil can form a very thin, non-destructive waterproof and anti-fouling layer on the leather surface. This waterproof and anti-fouling layer has a very low surface tension, which can significantly reduce the adsorption of water molecules and oil molecules on the leather surface, making it difficult for water droplets and oil to stay and penetrate on the leather surface, thereby achieving a waterproof and anti-fouling effect.
2. Wear resistance of fluorosilicone oil
Fluorosilicone oil can also improve the wear resistance of leather in leather processing. This is because the film formed by fluorosilicone oil on the leather surface has good lubricity and wear resistance, which can reduce the friction coefficient between leather and other objects, thereby reducing the wear on the leather surface.
3. Application methods of fluorosilicone oil
The application methods of fluorosilicone oil in leather processing mainly include coating and dipping.
Finishing method: Mix fluorosilicone oil with other finishing agents and evenly apply it on the leather surface. This method is suitable for occasions where the leather surface gloss and waterproof and anti-fouling properties need to be improved.
Immersion method: Immerse the leather in a solution containing fluorosilicone oil to allow the fluorosilicone oil to fully penetrate into the leather. This method is suitable for occasions where the leather performance needs to be comprehensively improved, such as improving the softness, elasticity and wear resistance of the leather.
4. Effect of fluorosilicone oil treatment of leather
Leather treated with fluorosilicone oil can not only significantly improve the waterproof and anti-fouling properties, but also improve the feel, gloss and wear resistance of the leather. At the same time, the surface of the leather treated with fluorosilicone oil is smoother and more delicate, and easy to clean and maintain.
