Phenyl silicone oil has significant waterproofing and softening effects in the textile industry. The following is a detailed description of these aspects:
1. Waterproofing treatment
Phenyl silicone oil can be used for waterproof finishing of fabrics, giving the fabrics good hydrophobic properties. This finished fabric can effectively prevent water penetration and keep the fabric dry, especially suitable for outdoor clothing and functional textiles. The realization of its waterproof function is mainly due to the special chemical structure and properties of phenyl silicone oil, which enables it to form an effective waterproof layer on the surface of the fabric.
2. Softening treatment
Improve the feel: Phenyl silicone oil can significantly improve the feel of the fabric, making the fabric softer and smoother. It can also reduce friction between fibers, reduce pilling, and improve wearing comfort.
Enhance fabric performance: Fabrics treated with phenyl silicone oil have improved mechanical properties, such as enhanced tensile strength. In addition, the treated colored cloth can be improved by one level in soap fastness, wet friction fastness and light fastness.
Multifunctional finishing agent: Phenyl silicone oil can also be used in combination with other functional additives (such as waterproofing agents, flame retardants, antistatic agents, etc.) to achieve a variety of functional finishing effects and meet the high-end needs of textiles.
3. Application advantages
Thermal stability: Phenyl silicone oil has thermal stability and will not produce carbon residues caused by thermal degradation. It is suitable for various high-temperature treatment processes.
Chemical inertness: Its chemical properties are inert, completely incompatible with some organic matter, and not easy to react with other chemicals, thus ensuring the stability and durability of the fabric.
Anti-ultraviolet ability: Phenyl silicone oil also has anti-ultraviolet ability, providing additional protection for fabrics.
Good lubrication: In the production process of textiles, phenyl silicone oil can be used as a defoaming agent. Its low surface tension and good chemical stability can quickly eliminate foam and ensure the smooth progress of dyeing, printing and finishing processes.
In summary, phenyl silicone oil performs well in waterproofing and softening treatment in the textile industry, and has broad application prospects and market demand. At the same time, its excellent performance and multiple functions make phenyl silicone oil one of the important auxiliaries in the field of textile finishing.
