High-Adsorption Amino Silicone Oil for Synthetic Fibers

In today's textile printing and dyeing industry, which relentlessly pursues high-end quality, innovation in textile auxiliaries serves as the core engine driving transformative improvements in fabric performance. Every leap in quality—whether it's pursuing ultimate skin-friendly feel, exceptional durability, or meeting the market's stringent demands for functionality—is inseparable from advancements in auxiliary technology. Particularly for dominant synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon, their inherent characteristics—such as a smooth surface, strong chemical inertness, and poor moisture absorption—pose a significant challenge. How to help them break through the "plastic feel" and achieve a long-lasting, luxurious, silky-soft hand feel and plump elasticity that rivals or even surpasses that of natural fibers has long been a core technical challenge troubling fabric manufacturers and auxiliary producers.

Zhejiang Kefeng Silicone Co., Ltd. (Kefeng Silicone), a leading manufacturer in China's ternary block silicone oil sector with over two decades of deep industry expertise, understands this challenge profoundly. Since its establishment in 2002, backed by a strong registered capital of 60 million RMB and three modern production bases strategically located in Hangzhou and the national-level Quzhou Green Gathering Area chemical park, we have remained committed to developing targeted solutions for various fibers. Focusing on the specific "battlefield" of synthetic fibers, we have dedicated extensive research and development efforts to introduce a revolutionary product: High-Adsorption Amino Silicone Oil for Synthetic Fibers. This is not merely a softener; it is a functional silicone oil designed at the molecular level to precisely address the finishing pain points of synthetic fibers. It aims to endow synthetic fabrics with enduring vitality and an unparalleled sensory value.

Core Technology: Targeted Adsorption for Long-Lasting Adhesion

Traditional amino silicone oils can form relatively firm adsorption on natural fibers like cotton and wool, leveraging the hydrophilic groups and porous structure of the fiber surfaces. However, when faced with highly hydrophobic, smooth-surfaced synthetic fibers like polyester, conventional silicone oils often prove inadequate. They are prone to washing or rubbing off during subsequent processes, leading to rapid hand-feel deterioration and even causing issues like silicone spots or oil slicking.

The success of Kefeng's High-Adsorption Amino Silicone Oil stems from its unique molecular structure and mechanism of action:

Design of High-Affinity Amino Functional Groups: Utilizing advanced organic synthesis technology, we have grafted special amino functional groups with strong polarity and high reactivity onto the polysiloxane backbone. During the baking and setting process, these functional groups generate powerful intermolecular forces (such as electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding) and even partial chemical reactions with residual groups like carboxyl groups at the ends of synthetic fiber macromolecular chains. This forms a directional, dense, and organic silicone film on the fiber surface. This bonding mechanism fundamentally transforms the relationship between the silicone oil and the fiber—upgrading it from "physical adhesion" to "chemical anchoring."

Optimized Molecular Weight and Distribution Control: As the largest manufacturer of ternary block silicone oil in China (current monthly production capacity of crude block silicone oil has reached 1,000 tons), we possess precise control over silicone oil molecular weight and its distribution. This product employs a block structure with a specific molecular weight range, ensuring the silicone oil molecules offer excellent penetration while their chain segments can fully extend and tightly envelop each individual fiber. This achieves comprehensive soft finishing from the interior to the surface of the fiber, rather than merely floating on the surface.

Exceptional Emulsion Stability and Compatibility: Drawing on extensive production experience, we ensure that this high-adsorption amino silicone oil emulsion features fine, uniform particle size and excellent stability. It demonstrates good compatibility with dye baths and other textile auxiliaries (such as fixing agents, antistatic agents, etc.), making it suitable for various processes like padding and exhaustion. This effectively avoids fabric defects caused by emulsion breaking or oil slicking, providing a solid guarantee for the production stability of printing and dyeing mills.

Revolutionary Performance Enhancements for Synthetic Fabrics

After finishing with Kefeng's High-Adsorption Amino Silicone Oil, synthetic fiber fabrics will achieve a qualitative leap, manifested in the following aspects:

Ultimate and Long-Lasting Soft, Smooth Hand Feel: This is the most intuitive advantage of the product. It imparts a plump, lofty, silk-like luxurious feel to fabrics like polyester and nylon, completely eliminating the inherent stiffness and plastic sensation of synthetic fibers. More importantly, thanks to its high adsorption properties, this excellent soft hand feel possesses outstanding wash resistance. Even after multiple home or industrial washes, the initial softness and smoothness remain largely intact, significantly enhancing the perceived quality and service life of the final product.

Significant Elasticity and Anti-Wrinkle Effect: The elastic network formed by the silicone film on the fiber surface effectively improves the fabric's anti-wrinkle properties and recovery elasticity. The finished fabric exhibits better drape, easier crease recovery, and maintains a crisper, more shaped appearance in garment wear and home textile applications.

Excellent Sewing and Frictional Properties: The silicone oil film lubricates the friction between fibers and between fibers and metal (e.g., sewing needles). This makes the fabric smoother during cutting and sewing, effectively reducing the risk of needle holes and fabric damage, while also enhancing the fabric's abrasion resistance.

Providing an Ideal Platform for Functional Finishing: Its film-forming characteristics allow it to serve not only as a base softener but also as a carrier for synergistic use with other Kefeng functional products (e.g., moisture-wicking agents, antimicrobial agents). This provides a perfect chemical platform for developing multifunctional, high-value-added synthetic fiber fabrics.

Broad Application Scenarios and Technical Advantages

This product is widely applicable to all synthetic fibers and their blends requiring enhanced hand feel and quality, including but not limited to:

Sportswear and Casual Wear: Polyester sportswear, yoga wear, quick-drying shirts, which demand a soft hand feel and wash resistance.

High-End Home Textiles: Fabrics for polyester-filled duvets, pillow cores, requiring a fluffy and soft touch.

Fashion and Underwear: Nylon fabrics, polyester silk-like fabrics, pursuing ultimate smoothness and skin-friendliness.

Industrial Fabrics: Synthetic fiber fabrics needing improved hand feel to elevate product grade.
