Epoxy silicone oil and epoxy polyether silicone oil are two commonly used textile auxiliaries, and they have some differences in textile applications. Below I'll tell you more about the differences between them:
Chemical composition:
Epoxy silicone oil is an organic silicon compound containing epoxy groups in its chemical structure. It reacts with the textile surface through epoxy groups to form a protective silicon oxide film.
Epoxy polyether silicone oil is an organic silicon compound composed of epoxy groups and polyether groups. It has a higher molecular weight and a longer degree of polymerization, resulting in a more durable film on textiles.
Features and Functions:
Epoxy silicone oil is mainly used to improve the water resistance, washing resistance and wear resistance of textiles. It can form a uniform, transparent silicon oxide film to improve the water resistance and chemical resistance of textiles.
In addition to the characteristics of epoxy silicone oil, epoxy polyether silicone oil also has certain softness and breathability. It can increase the softness of textiles, improve the hand feel, and improve the breathability of textiles.
Application areas:
Epoxy silicone oil is often used in the finishing and processing of textiles, such as waterproofing agents, stain-resistant agents, wear-resistant agents, etc. It is widely used in outdoor clothing, tents, rain gear and other textiles that require waterproof properties.
Epoxy polyether silicone oil is usually used in textiles that require softness and breathability, such as bedding, underwear, etc. It increases fabric softness and improves comfort.
Instructions:
Both epoxy silicone oil and epoxy polyether silicone oil can be applied to textile surfaces by dipping, spraying or coating. When using it, you need to choose the appropriate method and concentration according to the specific application requirements and the type of textile.
