Properties of softeners

The essential properties of a textile softener are as follows:

(1) Available in forms convenient to handle: stable liquid, predilutable and dosable

(2) Compatible with common textile auxiliaries

(3) Nonvolatile and stable in high temperature

(4) Nonyellowing

(5) Should not affect color fastness of dyed materials

(6) Low foaming and shear stable; does not deposit on rollers

(7) Preferably applicable by exhaust processes with good properties

(8) Eco-friendly, nontoxic and dermatologically safe

(9) Biodegradable

(10) Good price–performance relationship

The requirement profile for textile softeners is:

(1) Textile characteristics: handle, volume, softness, fall and odor

(2) Mechanical properties: stretch, elasticity, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, tear strength, smoothness, pilling tendency and sewability

(3) Functional properties: moisture management (hydrophilic/hydrophobic), antistatic, flame retardant, dirt resistant, sewability, rope crease prevention and antimicrobial

(4) Factors specific to production: environmentally acceptable (in manufacture and use); resistant to acids, and alkalis; stability to heat and frost during storage; jet suitability (reduced foaming and stable shear force; viscosity suitable for metering; good solubility and compatible with bleach liquor, dye liquor, optical brighteners, synthetic resins and other chemical finishes
