Optimizing Textile Finishing: A Guide to Using Softener Flakes
Effective textile finishing is critical for producing high-quality fabrics that meet market demands for softness, durability, and aesthetic appeal. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers specialized softener flakes that are integral to achieving these goals. This guide aims to provide manufacturers with practical insights into using these advanced textile auxiliaries to optimize their finishing processes.
Our softener flakes are designed for ease of use and maximum efficacy. The primary methods of application are the hot water dissolution technique and the direct hot water method. For the hot water dissolution, flakes are gradually introduced into room temperature water at a 5-10% concentration. Gentle stirring for 3-5 minutes while slowly heating to 70-75ºC ensures complete dissolution, resulting in a ready-to-use solution. The direct hot water method involves adding flakes to water already heated to 60-70ºC, again at a 5-10% concentration, with slow stirring for optimal results.
Detailed usage instructions are crucial for maximizing the benefits of these softener flakes. For the padding method, a dosage of 20-30g/L of a 10% solution is recommended at a temperature of 30-40ºC. This can be applied using a single dip/single pad or double dip/double pad technique. For the dipping method, a dosage of 3-8% (o.w.f) of a 10% solution is advised at 40-50ºC, with a liquor ratio of 1:10-1:15 for approximately 30 minutes. Prior testing for intermiscibility with other auxiliaries is always recommended to ensure compatibility and optimal outcomes.
The benefits of using our softener flakes extend beyond just imparting softness. Their excellent salt tolerance and alkali resistance contribute to fabric longevity, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, their minimal impact on fabric whiteness and color shade ensures that the final product retains its visual appeal. These properties align with the industry's growing demand for high-performance yet eco-friendly fabric softeners.
