The most fundamental function is the optimization of "hand-feel." By reducing the friction coefficient between fibers, silicone agents provide fabrics with a soft, smooth, and voluminous touch. They can:
Give lightweight fabrics a silky luster.
Provide heavy-duty fabrics with a woolen texture.
Eliminate the natural roughness and stiffness of unfinished textiles.
Beyond touch, they enhance elasticity and drape, significantly reducing crease formation. This ensures garments maintain a more aesthetic silhouette and home textiles exude a premium quality.
Modern silicone auxiliaries offer a suite of practical enhancements:
Moisture Management: Hydrophilic-modified silicones solve the "breathability" and sweat-absorption issues of synthetic fibers, making them ideal for intimate apparel and activewear.
Durability: Reactive silicones chemically cross-link with fibers, significantly improving the wash-fastness of the finish.
Protection & Processing: They impart anti-static properties, reducing dust adsorption and pilling. Additionally, they improve sewability by lubricating needles, preventing thread breakage and skipped stitches during high-speed manufacturing.
By integrating these features, silicone auxiliaries comprehensively elevate both the quality and the market value of textile products.
