Technical iteration drives quality upgrade; multi-functional silicone oil enables the high-endization of textiles.
1.Quaternization modification breakthrough - Silica oil achieves dual upgrade in antibacterial and hydrophilicity
The field of textile auxiliaries has witnessed a major technological innovation. After quaternization modification, the performance of end-epoxy polyether silica oil has achieved a qualitative leap. This technology addresses the industry pain point of traditional silica oil - the inability to achieve both hydrophilicity and antibacterial properties simultaneously. The treated fabric can inhibit common pathogenic bacteria by up to 99%, and still maintain over 90% antibacterial effect after 50 washes. At the same time, the hydrophilicity of the product has increased by 40%, completely eliminating the greasiness of traditional silica oil.
2. Innovation in Low-Temperature Quick-Drying Technology Boosts Efficiency in Textile Industry
To meet the demands of the fast-response supply chain, the low-temperature cross-linking type silicone oil technology has been put into industrial application. The new silicone oil can be cured under the condition of 120℃ for 90 seconds, which reduces the temperature by 40℃ and shortens the time by two-thirds compared to the traditional process. This breakthrough has increased the efficiency of post-printing finishing by 50%, reduced the energy consumption per unit product by 22%, and effectively alleviated the contradiction between efficiency and energy consumption in the production of high-end fabrics.
3. Precisely Customized Molecular Structure To Meet Diverse Fabric Differentiation Needs
With the diversification of textile fabrics, silicone oil products are moving towards the era of "tailor-made" solutions. For different materials such as cotton, linen, synthetic fibers, and blends, enterprises have developed specialized modified silicone oils: The ultra-soft and smooth silicone oil for pure cotton gives the fabric a silk-like touch; the ice-effect silicone oil for sports fabrics achieves both long-lasting coolness and moisture-wicking and sweat-absorbing functions; and the elastic silicone oil for spandex significantly enhances the fabric's rebound and washability.
4. Acceleration of Domestic Substitution and Technological Breakthrough in the High-end Market
Under the trend of multi-functionalization, domestic silicone oil is accelerating its efforts to break through the international monopoly. By 2026, the domesticization rate of high-end silicone oil products such as block copolymer type and super hydrophilic modified type will exceed 65%. With more tailored formulas to local markets, faster technological response, and more competitive prices, domestic high-end silicone oil has successfully entered the supply chains of several international brands, promoting the Chinese textile auxiliaries industry to climb to the higher end of the global value chain.
