I. Basic Finishing: Improving Fabric Touch and Appearance
Silicone oil is a core auxiliary agent in textile finishing processes. Its low surface tension significantly improves the feel of fabrics. Amino-modified silicone oil forms chemical bonds with the fiber surface, giving fabrics a soft and smooth feel, and is widely used in underwear, loungewear, and other intimate apparel. Hydroxyl silicone oil enhances fabric smoothness through physical adsorption, reduces pilling due to friction, and improves garment durability. Furthermore, silicone oil can improve fabric luster, giving fabrics a natural matte or glossy effect, meeting the visual texture requirements of high-end clothing.

II. Functional Enhancement: Imbuing Fabrics with Special Properties
Silicone oil can achieve multifunctional applications through molecular structure modification. Waterproof silicone oil reduces fiber surface energy, forming a hydrophobic film that allows rainwater to bead up and roll off the fabric surface while maintaining breathability, and is widely used in outdoor sportswear. Antistatic silicone oil introduces conductive groups to eliminate static electricity generated by fiber friction, preventing clothing from attracting dust or generating electrical sparks, and is suitable for scenarios such as work clothes in electronic workshops. Furthermore, flame-retardant silicone oil enhances the flame retardancy of fabrics through a catalytic char formation mechanism, meeting the safety standards for decorative fabrics in public places.

III. Process Optimization: Improving Production Efficiency and Quality
Silicone oil plays an auxiliary role in various stages of textile processing. Silicone oil in the dyeing bath reduces friction between dye and fiber, increases dyeing rate, reduces color difference, and shortens dyeing time; silicone oil in sewing thread reduces thread breakage rate and improves sewing efficiency through lubrication; silicone oil in pre-dyeing and printing treatment removes impurities from the fiber surface, enhancing the effect of subsequent finishing. In addition, silicone oil can also be used as a lubricant in textile machinery, reducing equipment wear and extending service life.
