In the leather industry, polyether-modified specialty silicone surfactants are important additives for improving the quality of leather. Its unique molecular structure endows it with low surface tension, good hydrophilicity and excellent film-forming performance, enabling it to deeply penetrate leather fibers and optimize leather performance from multiple dimensions.
In the finishing process of leather processing, it serves as a key component of leather smoothening agents and finishing agents, endowing the leather surface with a smooth, bright, soft and comfortable hand feel. By forming a uniform and breathable protective film on the leather surface, not only is the wear resistance of the leather enhanced, but also its stain resistance is improved, thus prolonging the service life of leather products. During the leather dyeing process, this surfactant, with its excellent surface activity, can effectively reduce the surface tension of the dyeing solution, promote the uniform penetration of the dye, avoid color difference problems, and make the leather dyeing more uniform and full. In addition, its anti-static property can also reduce the adsorption of dust and impurities on leather during processing and use, always keeping the leather clean and beautiful.
As consumers' demands for leather quality continue to rise, polyether-modified special silicone surfactants will continue to leverage their advantages, driving the leather industry towards high quality and high performance.
