The pursuit of premium fabric quality in the textile industry often hinges on the finishing process. Among the various chemical auxiliaries used, softener flakes stand out for their ability to impart a desirable softness and smooth handfeel. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers advanced softener flakes, available in formulations optimized for both cold water and warm water dissolving methods, catering to diverse manufacturing needs and environmental considerations. Understanding these applications is key to maximizing efficiency and product quality.

Softener flakes are essentially fatty amide derivatives, acting as cationic surfactants that deposit onto fabric fibers. This interaction smooths the fibers, reducing friction and creating that sought-after plushness. The choice between cold water and warm water dissolving methods often depends on available equipment, processing temperatures, and desired speed of dissolution. Our company, as a dedicated manufacturer and supplier in China, ensures that our flakes offer excellent performance regardless of the chosen method.

For those opting for the warm water dissolving method, the process typically involves adding flakes to water at room temperature, stirring for 3-5 minutes to disperse them, then heating to 50-60°C and stirring for 30-60 minutes until a paste forms. This method is efficient and ensures complete dissolution, making it suitable for manufacturers with heating capabilities. The resulting paste can then be used directly in the finishing process. This is a common approach for achieving a consistent finish on various fabric types.

Alternatively, the cold water dissolving method offers convenience and potential energy savings. During this process, flakes are gradually added to 30°C water while stirring. After dispersion for 3-5 minutes, the mixture is allowed to stand for 1-2 hours, after which slow stirring converts it into a usable paste. This method is ideal for operations that aim to minimize energy consumption or have limitations on heating processes. The compatibility of our softener flakes with these different methods ensures flexibility for textile manufacturers.

The application scope for these softener flakes is broad, covering essential textile finishing operations. They are highly effective for cotton and chemical fiber blends, providing a soft and smooth finish that is crucial for apparel and home textiles. Whether used in padding or dipping processes, our flakes consistently deliver excellent results. For example, a 10% solution can be applied via padding at 20-30 g/L, or through dipping at 3-8% (o.w.f) with a 1:10-1:15 liquor ratio.
