The role of textile auxiliaries

Textile auxiliaries play a vital role in the textile industry ‌, mainly including the following aspects:

Improve the processability of fibers and yarns ‌ : textile auxiliaries can significantly improve the spinnability and weavability of fibers, making them easier to process into yarns. For example, penetrants and wetting agents can reduce the surface tension of the solution, making the fiber more easily wetted and permeated, thus improving the permeability and dyeing uniformity of the dye ‌.

Enhances the serviceability of the fabric ‌ : additives can improve the wear resistance, wrinkle resistance, softness and other serviceability of the fabric. For example, softeners can make fabrics softer and anti-wrinkle agents can reduce wrinkles and enhance their durability ‌.

Give fabrics special functions ‌ : textile auxiliaries can also give fabrics a variety of special functions, such as waterproof, antifouling, antibacterial, antistatic, flame retardant and so on. For example, UV resistant finishes can effectively absorb UV rays and protect the skin; Cool finishing agent can make fabric contact instant cool; Hygroscopic perspirant can quickly absorb and drain sweat, keep dry; Mosquito repellent finishes are effective at repelling mosquitoes ‌.

Improve dyeing and finishing process ‌ : additives also play an important role in the dyeing and finishing process, which can improve the permeability and dyeing effect of dyes, reduce energy Consumption and processing costs. For example, water softener can remove calcium, magnesium and other metal ions in water, reduce the production of scale, thus improving the dyeing effect ‌.

Improve the appearance and feel of the fabric ‌ : additives can also increase the gloss of the fabric, improve the feel, make it more comfortable and beautiful ‌.
