SOFTENERS have gained
great importance in textile finishing;
almost no piece of textile leaves
the production facilities
without being treated with a softener.
This softening treatment is to
give the textiles the desired handle,
make further processing easier and
improve the handling properties. A
nice, soft handle is often the decisive
criterion for buying a textile and
is therefore of most vital importance
for marketing many textiles.
A Softener's main purpose is to
improve the aesthetic properties of
textiles :
* It gives the fabric the desired
handle; usually with imaginative
descriptions such as soft, full,
super soft, smooth, elastic, firm, dry, sludgy etc.
* It positively influences the technological
properties such as antistatic,
hydrophilic properties, elasticity,
sewability, abrasion resistance
etc.
* It gives synthetic fibres a certain
degree of natural feeling and improve
the handling properties
through secondary effects (antistatic,
smoothness, moisture
regulation etc.).

> No restriction for transport and
storing (flash point)
Application of textile
softeners in practise :
Nort-ionic softeners
Nonionic softeners do not carry
any electrical charge and therefore
do not possess any distinctive
substantivity. Such products are
applied by means of forced application.
i.e. usually in padding mangle
procedures. Non-ionic softeners can
be combined universally, are stable
to temperature and do not yellow.
This is the reason why this product
class is perfect for finishing optically
brightened high-white articles. The
soft handle of pure non-ionic products is only average.
Cationic softeners
Cationic softeners show the best
soft handle and are therefore used
for household articles as well as for
industrial articles. They have affinity
to almost all fibres and are usually
applied by the exhaust method. The only problem is the incompatibility
with anionic auxiliaries
(optical brighteners, dyeing auxiliaries)
as well as their tendency to
yellow in comparison with non-ionic
products. Cationic softeners are
mainly used for coloured textile sub
strates . Product name : TEX-SOFT 90 PLM, ARQUAD 2HT-75
Amphoteric softeners
Formulations based on amphoteric substances are usually for special
products of certain applications.
Amphoteric products give an average
handle, are normally compatible
with white and give the fabric a good
hydrophilicity as well as excellent
antistatic properties. Furthermore,
amphoteric softeners are very
sensitive to skin and are often
biodegradable. The main application
range is hygiene and terry-cloth
articles.
Anionic softeners
Anionic softeners are being used
less because of the somewhat poor
handle and the low substantivity, but are still of importance for certain
fields.
* as Sanforizing assistance thanks
to their good re-wetting properties
* as crease-preventing agents in
dyeing processes (anionic products
do not retard at all or only to
a small extent)
* for one-bath application with other
anionic auxiliaries such as optical
brighteners
* as a raising assistant due to good
smoothing and antistatic efficiency
* as a sizing fat
Softener specialities
Pseudo-cationic softeners
Pseudo-cationic softeners can be
classified between non-ionic (average
handle) and cationic (yellowing)
products. They take on a certain
compromise, i.e. they can be used
on white fabrics still having a good
affinity and about the same soft
handle as cationic products, providing
that the drying temperature or
condensation or thermofixation is
not too high.
Silicone micro emulsions
Amino functional silicones have a big importance to textile softening companies. Their surface smoothening
and softening properties are above all other product groups. Micro and semi-micro emulsions can
be made with specially selected emulsifying recipes using aminofunctional silicones. They offer a number of advantages which ,are totally in keeping for modern textile finishing. The low particle size (microemulsions <O.Olp) semi micro emulsions ~0.1 p) allow for the additives to penetrate in to the fibre core and in this way allow for an excellent product distribution of the micro emulsion. Silicone micro emulsions give textiles an excellent inner softness and a distinctive surface
smoothness without looking greasy.
They improve the technological properties
of the textile (e.g. abrasion
resistance, creasing angle), support
the elasticity and optimize the
sewability. Micro emulsions have a
good product stability and decrease
the hazard of roller coverings .
The use of fast-running machines/
devices with high shearing forces
may cause problems when working
with silicone micro emulsions (bath
stability) unless specially optimized
products for this application field
were selected.
The softening capacity of silicones
is based on the gliding behaviour on
the fibre surface as well as in the
fibre. Polydimethyl siloxanes attached
to amino-functional groups
allow for a better orientation and
substantivity of the silicone on the
substrate. This again leads
to a better soft handle ("super soft)"
and good washing permanency. Product Name : Micro Silicon MK 60
