In the field of textile printing and dyeing, ethyl silicone oil is triggering a "soft revolution". Its unique molecular configuration can be oriented and arranged on the surface of fibers, forming a durable lubricating layer. Experiments have shown that cotton fabrics treated with ethyl silicone oil have a 55% reduction in bending stiffness and a 30 ° increase in wrinkle recovery angle, achieving an ideal hand feel of "softness without collapse". A fast fashion brand reduced the post-treatment time of denim jeans by 40% and reduced the amount of chemicals used by 20% by using a softener containing ethyl silicone oil.


In terms of waterproof finishing, a breakthrough has been made in the synergistic effect of ethyl silicone oil and fluorocarbon resin. The silicon fluorine hybrid finishing agent developed by a certain research institution not only maintains the breathability of the fabric, but also increases the static water pressure to over 20kPa, meeting the AA waterproof standard for outdoor sportswear. In the field of industrial textiles, ethyl silicone oil coating technology extends the service life of filter materials by three times. After its application in a cement plant, the pressure difference of bag filters decreased by 15%, saving over one million yuan in annual energy consumption costs.


In the development of smart textiles, ethyl silicone oil exhibits "temperature memory" characteristics. By introducing phase change microcapsules, intelligent temperature regulating fabrics that can change with temperature have been developed. When the ambient temperature rises to 30 ℃, the ethyl silicone oil phase change material absorbs heat and melts, causing the surface temperature of the fabric to decrease by 5 ℃; When the temperature is below 25 ℃, recrystallization releases heat, forming a dynamic thermal equilibrium system. This technology has been applied to the lining of firefighting suits, significantly improving the thermal comfort of high-temperature workers.
