Textile auxiliaries refer to chemicals used in textile processing and finishing, which can improve various properties of fabrics. Common textile auxiliaries and their functions are as follows:
1. Defoaming agent: remove air bubbles during textile processing.
2. Dispersant: Disperse dyes, additives, etc. in water for better contact with textiles.
3. Softener: Make textiles soft, smooth and antistatic.
4. Lubricant: reduce the friction of textiles in the production process, prevent their damage and improve work efficiency.
5. Brightener: enhance the luster of the fabric surface.
6. Anti-wrinkle agent: reduce the wrinkles of fabrics during washing and drying.
7. Adhesive: Make certain parts of the fabric bond to each other.
8. Film reducing agent: control the absorption rate of certain chemical components and prevent film formation.
9. Special fragrance: add fragrance to the fabric, and can sterilize and deodorize.
10. Catalyst: Promote the occurrence of some chemical reactions.
11. Antioxidant: Prevent textiles from aging and damage due to oxidation.
12. Fading agent: used to lighten or remove certain colors.
13. Flux: used to control the processing temperature of fibers, enhance friction and static electricity.
14. Dyeing agent: coat the fiber surface with a layer of metal to change its color and luster.
15. Rinsing agent: remove residual chemicals and impurities in textiles.
16. Bactericide: kill bacteria and other microorganisms in textiles.
17. Fixing agent: Fix the dye to prevent it from losing or fading.
18. Flame retardant: make textiles have self-protection ability in case of fire.
19. Foaming agent: It plays a cleaning role by increasing the formation of air bubbles on the surface of textiles.
20. Isolation agent: reduce the damage to textiles caused by certain chemicals and other impurities.
