Bringing you higher grade, ■Water repellency The silicone forms a film on fibers (as an oil film higher performance textile products. or hard coating), which provides outstanding water repellency while still retaining a soft hand. Silicone textile treatments exhibit many excellent properties. They are characterized by very low surface tension, high water repellency, easy release and good lubricity, and they are ■Softness chemically inactive. Silicone textile treatments can be used to treat natural fibers, synthetic fibers and recycled Silicones greatly reduce the friction coefficient between fibers to achieve a distinctive softness. fibers to impart water repellency, waterproofness and softness, while also improving the Silicones are highly water repellent. fiber’s wrinkle resistance, rebound resilience and other tactile qualities. Silicone textile treatments can also improve the fabric’s sewability and soil-release (SR) properties. Thus, ■Durability silicone textile treatments are used extensively by manufacturers looking to create higher Silicones form a flexible Coating on fiber surfaces, grade, higher performance textile products and to achieve differentiation.
