Silicone in Textile

Silken Materials specializes in providing a diverse range of functional silicone products and silicone softeners that are widely utilized in textile finishing applications. Our extensive selection of silicone fluid products includes hydrophilic silicones fluid, amino silicones fluid, self-dispersible silicones fluid, block copolymer silicone fluids, and a variety of silicone emulsions containing amino functional groups, which serve as premium softeners for the textile industry. Additionally, we offer non-amino silicone fluids such as epoxy functional silicone fluids, which impart a unique elastic and bouncy texture.
Amino silicone fluids play a crucial role in textile silicone formulations and this unique structure facilitates bonding with textile surfaces, thereby reducing fiber-fiber friction and achieving the desired softening effect.
Our LK-ASFL SERIES comprises textile finishing fluids that consist of both reactive and non-reactive amino modified silicones. In order to meet the standards of textile-related certification labels, LK-ASFL SERIES contains each D4, D5 and D6 content less than 1000 ppm.
Furthermore, our ready-to-use formulations are suitable for a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, blends, knits, terry towels, wool, denim, and so on. We also undergo collaborative research in developing customised solutions for end customer.
