In today's textile industry, where quality standards are increasingly stringent, knitted fabrics face the dual challenges of pilling deformation and insufficient drape. Leveraging years of expertise in silicone material development, Kaifeng Silicone has introduced a specially formulated silicone softener for knitwear. Through innovative molecular structure design and deep integration with textile processes, this product imparts lasting softness, exceptional anti-pilling performance, and fluid drape to fabrics.
The product is based on specially modified amino-polysiloxane as its main component, featuring molecular chains with both flexible segments and active functional groups:
Flexible siloxane segments form a uniform molecular layer on the fiber surface, effectively reducing the coefficient of friction between fibers (static friction coefficient ≤ 0.15, dynamic friction coefficient ≤ 0.12).
Active cross-linking groups establish covalent bonds with fiber molecules, constructing a three-dimensional elastic network during heat treatment.
Nano-scale silicon particles fill micro-pores on the fiber surface, forming a protective barrier while maintaining fabric breathability.
Third-party testing机构 verification confirms significant improvements in treated knitted fabrics:
Pilling resistance grade improved by 2-3 levels (reaching Grade 4-5 according to GB/T 4802.1-2008).
Drape coefficient reduced by 35%-50% (tested per GB/T 23329-2009).
Hand feel value increased by over 40% (Kawabata Evaluation System).
Stable wash resistance (softness retention rate > 85% after 50 washes).
The specially developed self-cross-linking technology ensures durable and stable softness, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional softeners that tend to migrate or wash out. The product complies with the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for eco-textiles and is free of harmful substances such as APEO and formaldehyde.
