SOFTENER - Uses and synthesis methods

overview

Softener refers to a textile additive that can be adsorbed on the surface of textile fibers and smooth the fibers to change the feel and make the product more comfortable. The reagent must be used in all processes from chemical fiber spinning, stretching, reeling, weaving or cellulose fiber strip making, spinning, weaving to textile dyeing and finishing to ensure spinning, stretching, reeling, The smooth progress of various processes such as strip making, spinning, weaving (weaving), etc., the main function of various softeners is to meet the different feel, different styles and requirements of various textiles. After dyeing cotton, fiber, loose hair and various mixed fibers, the reagent should be applied to improve the hand feeling, eliminate static electricity, increase the holding force between the fibers, improve the spinnability and weavability of the fibers, and ensure the normal progress of spinning and weaving. This product should be applied to improve the weaving performance after dyeing of twisted yarn, bobbin yarn and sewing thread. At present, there are thousands of varieties that have been developed and used in the world, and the most widely used ones are surface-active softeners, reactive softeners, silicone softeners, etc.

Preparation method

780 parts of clear water are placed in a strongly stirred reactor at a stirring speed of 30 r/min. Pass chilled water in the jacket to reduce the temperature to 0 ℃ (no chilled water, add crushed ice in the kettle). 27 parts of ethylene imine were added. Add decatane isocyanate slowly under stirring within 1~2 h. The temperature will rise during the reaction, but it must be controlled at 33~37°C. After 195 parts of decadane isocyanate are dripped, the temperature is kept at 33~37 ℃ for 3 hours. After that, 36 parts of fluorescent whitening agent VBLand 0.9 parts of Pingping (respectively dissolved in appropriate amount of water in advance) were added, and stirred and emulsified for 15 min. After cooling to 20 ℃, measure the pH. If the pH does not reach 8, adjust it appropriately. If the pH has reached 8, move into a sand mill or porcelain ball mill for sanding or ball milling. After grinding, about 1000 parts of the product can be obtained.

How it works

The main principle of this product treatment means that this product is adsorbed on the fiber and makes the surface of the fiber smooth, increasing its soft properties and its soft effect. The main reason is that after this product is adsorbed on the surface of the fiber, it can increase the lubrication between metals like lubricating oil, preventing direct contact between the fiber and the fiber, and improving the smoothness between the fibers. Various oil agents (including crude oil) used before the fabric stage mainly reduce the coefficient of friction between fibers and fibers, fibers and machinery (metal) (I. e. the principle of coefficient of friction), accompanied by antistatic and improved fiber bundling (holding force). The smaller the coefficient of static and dynamic friction of the fiber, the easier it is to start sliding between the fibers, or the smaller the force required to continue sliding.

product features

this product is a milky white slurry, slightly alkaline, pH 8, and can be mixed and diluted with water in any proportion. This product is active in performance and should be used as it is used. It does not generate by-products when it reacts with fibers, has no acid precipitation, has no brittleness to fabrics, and has excellent washability and dry cleaning resistance. Textiles treated with this product are not easy to stain.

product applications

P> this product can be used as cotton fabric, acrylic fiber as a soft treatment agent, can also be used as a fabric resin finishing soft treatment agent, can increase the fabric fullness, softness and stain resistance.
