Achieving the perfect fabric feel often relies on the correct application of specialized textile auxiliaries. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers a highly effective Softener Flake that, when used correctly, provides superior softness and excellent low yellowing properties. This guide outlines how to use softener flakes to achieve optimal results in your textile processing.

Before application, proper preparation of the Softener Flake is essential. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. recommends two primary dissolving methods to ensure the agent is fully activated and ready for use. The Hot Water Method involves gradually introducing the flakes into room temperature water (typically a 5-10% concentration) while stirring gently for 3-5 minutes. The mixture is then heated to 70-75ºC with continued stirring until completely dissolved. Alternatively, the Direct Hot Water method involves adding the flakes directly to water pre-heated to 60-70ºC, stirring slowly until fully dissolved. Both methods are designed to create a stable solution for application.

Once the solution is prepared, application can proceed via two common techniques: padding or dipping. For the Padding Method, a dosage of 20-30g/L of the 10% solution at 30-40ºC is recommended, often utilizing a one-dip, one-pad or two-dips, two-pad process. For the Dipping Method, a dosage of 3-8% (o.w.f) of a 10% solution at 40-50ºC is advised, maintaining a liquor ratio of 1:10 to 1:15 for about 30 minutes. These parameters are crucial for maximizing the softening effect and ensuring the low yellowing properties are maintained.

When considering the purchase of textile auxiliaries, understanding their application is key. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD.'s Softener Flake is designed for ease of use within standard textile finishing workflows. It's important to conduct compatibility tests if mixing with other auxiliaries to ensure optimal performance and prevent unwanted interactions.

By following these guidelines on how to use softener flakes, manufacturers can reliably enhance fabric softness, improve the overall handfeel, and benefit from the product's excellent low yellowing characteristics, ultimately delivering higher quality textiles.
