Global Market Trend

Global Fashion Trends are:
Superior Handle
Comfort built on hydrophilic modification on
natural/man-made fabrics
Howevertraditional method cannot meet market
needs.
Global market for functional fabrics grows by
25% annually.
Trend of Fabric Finishing

Small order quantity v.s. product diversification
Short lead time
Natural and comfortable
Easy care
Criteria of New Generation Softener

Treated fabric is less yellowing and less hydrophobic
than corresponding fabric treated with traditional
amino functional silicones
High stability and compatibility
Can be applied to fabric by jet dyeing machine
exhaustion
Can be applied in the same bath with wrinkle-free
resin
Compatible with anionic auxiliaries
Can be applied in high-concentrated salt and
alkaline solutions
The treated fabric can be evenly re-dyed
Current Fabric Finishing
Amino enables superior soft handle and wash-durability,

but bring in lowered hydrophilicity and yellowing
problems.
Silicone polyethylene glycol can improve hydrophilicity,

but lower fabrics hydrophilicity, handle, and wash-
durability.
Organic amine softener can give certain extent of softening

but drawbacks are poor performance and water-repellency.
State-of-Art Fabric Finishing

Some new silicone hydrophilic softeners are sold
in market, but they have problems as:
Poor softening results
Limited wash-durability
Mostly emulsion instead of fluids
Limited performance on man-made fabrics
Dow Corning 2-8600

Why have foams

SolutionsWater, organics, compounds
FoamingDetergents, thickeners, etc.
Force evolvements
Stirring
Pumping
Liquid
Gas
Vapor
Where foams come from

Foams are cells of air encircled by very thin layer
of liquid and dispersed into solutions.
Two categoriesmulti-facet, sphere.
Multi-facet foam occurs more often in textile
application and are harder to remove.
Troubles caused by Foams

Overflow
Lost capacity
Decrease Efficiency
Increase difficulty of operation
Downgrade products
Requirement on antifoam for textile

industry application
Wide pH range
Good dilution stability
Good compatibility with auxiliaries
Good shear stability
Good stability for wide temperature range
Good dispersion in solutions
Silicone Antifoam Application in

Textile Industry
Process Aid:
Can be added in all process for anti-foaming.
Auxiliary Additives:
Pre-added into auxiliaries for anti-foaming.
