Achieving the perfect fabric handfeel is paramount in the textile industry, and nonionic softener flakes are a highly effective solution. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of textile auxiliary agents, we want to guide you on how to best utilize these versatile finishing agents. Proper application ensures optimal softness, fluffiness, and antistatic properties for your fabrics. When you purchase our high-quality nonionic softener flakes, you're investing in superior textile finishing.

Nonionic softener flakes are designed for easy dissolution and application. The key is to prepare a consistent solution before applying it to the fabric. Typically, the flakes are added to water gradually, either at room temperature or with gentle heating (around 70-75°C), while stirring continuously. This process transforms the flakes into a smooth paste, ensuring the softener is fully dispersed and ready for use. For best results, stir for 30-60 minutes until a uniform paste is formed. Remember to store any unused solution properly.

There are two primary methods for applying fabric softener flakes: padding and dipping. The padding method involves passing the fabric through a trough containing the softener solution, followed by squeeze rollers to ensure even distribution and controlled pickup. A common dosage for padding is 20-30g/L of a 10% solution, applied at temperatures between 30-40°C, using either a single or double dip and pad technique. This method is efficient for continuous processing and ensures uniform treatment.

The dipping method, often used in batch processes, involves immersing the fabric in the softener bath. A typical dosage is 3-8% (o.w.f) of a 10% solution, with a liquor ratio of 1:10 to 1:15. The fabric is kept in the bath at temperatures between 40-50°C for approximately 30 minutes to allow for thorough absorption. This method is suitable for various fabric types and can be adjusted based on specific requirements. When you buy our softener flakes, consult our technical data sheets for precise application parameters.

Proper storage is also crucial for maintaining the efficacy of nonionic softener flakes. Store them in a cool, dry, and shaded area, away from direct sunlight. When stored correctly, they typically have a shelf life of 12 months. By following these usage guidelines and ensuring proper handling, you can maximize the benefits of our nonionic softener flakes, delivering superior softness and enhanced fabric quality to your customers.
