Fabric softener is a kind of daily chemical product, which gives clothes and fabrics a soft and comfortable feeling in the process of handling, wearing and using. The smoothing and softening effect of fabric softener is mainly due to the fact that the softener is adsorbed on the fiber surface, which prevents the fiber from directly contacting the fiber and reduces the dynamic friction coefficient and static friction coefficient between fibers. Fiber, reduce the resistance between fabric components and fabric and the resistance between human body, to achieve a soft feel and comfortable wearing effect.
In the general softening finishing, the most common and simplest method is to treat the fabric with softener
The softener forms a protective film on the surface of the fabric to reduce the friction between the components in the fabric and between the human body and the fabric, so as to soften and smooth the fabric.
According to statistics, the main methods used for fabric softening finishing are mechanical softening finishing, chemical softening finishing and biological enzyme treatment. Mechanical soft finishing effect is not durable, the effect is not obvious; The effect of chemical finishing is better, and the defective enzyme treatment which changes the rigidity and softness of the fabric is also changed.
In recent years, an environmentally friendly and effective processing method has emerged.
In the process of dyeing and finishing, softeners are usually used to improve the smoothness and softness of the fabric due to the characteristic factors of the fabric itself or in order to give the fabric certain functions. And improve the comfort of the fabric. The optimum finishing process of nonionic hydrophilic silicone oil cotton fabric softener and bath softener was studied by orthogonal test and single factor test (softener dosage, baking temperature and baking time). The handle and whiteness of cotton fabric before and after softening finishing were tested.
Conclusion:
First of all, fabric softener as finishing agent can obtain soft, fluffy fullness, and improve the general mechanical properties, drapability and lubricity.
Secondly, fabric softeners used as lubricants can reduce friction between yarns and improve wear resistance. At the same time, it can reduce the needle cutting in the sewing process, reduce the temperature of the needle, and reduce the wear of the needle.
3。 The combination of fabric softener and other finishing AIDS, especially the combination of resin, can effectively improve the function of wear-resistant fabric softener, the effect and tear resistance of fabric softener, and improve the wrinkle recovery performance.
