Preliminary exploration and introduction
The origin of China's textile silicone softener can be traced back to the late 1970s and early 1980s. At that time, with the advancement of reform and opening up, China's textile industry began to gradually introduce advanced foreign technologies and products, including silicone softeners. Silicone softeners during this period were mainly imported from abroad and used for finishing of high-end textiles to improve their softness, gloss and feel.

Domestic R&D and production started
In the 1990s, with the rapid development of the domestic chemical industry, China began to independently develop and produce silicone softeners. Scientific research institutions and enterprises have invested in R&D and are committed to developing silicone softeners suitable for the needs of China's textile industry. After continuous exploration and practice, China has successfully developed a variety of silicone softener products with independent intellectual property rights, and gradually achieved large-scale production.

Technological progress and industrial upgrading
Entering the 21st century, with the technological progress and industrial upgrading of the textile industry, the development of China's textile silicone softeners has also ushered in new opportunities. On the one hand, the production technology of domestic silicone softeners has been continuously matured, and the product quality and performance have been significantly improved; on the other hand, as consumers have higher and higher requirements for the quality of textiles, the application scope of silicone softeners has become more and more extensive, from traditional natural fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool to new fibers such as synthetic fibers and blended fibers, all of which are inseparable from the treatment of silicone softeners.

Looking to the future
Today, China's textile silicone softeners have developed into one of the indispensable and important auxiliaries in the textile industry. In the future, with the continuous development of the textile industry and consumers' continuous pursuit of textile quality, China's textile silicone softeners will continue to develop in the direction of high performance, environmental protection, and multi-function, and contribute more to the development of the textile industry.
