The application of Silica in textile finishing is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Improvement of Mechanical Properties
Silica, as a filler material with high specific surface area and extremely fine particles, can significantly improve its mechanical properties when added to textiles. Specifically, Silica can form a coating on the fiber surface, increase the surface area and surface roughness of the fiber, thereby increasing the friction coefficient and tensile strength of the fiber material. This makes the textile more wear-resistant and durable, and is suitable for making clothing and household items that need to withstand greater tension and wear.
2. Anti-ultraviolet performance
Silica has excellent anti-ultraviolet properties. Adding an appropriate amount of silica to textiles can effectively prevent long-term ultraviolet radiation, thereby extending the service life of textiles. This is because silica can absorb ultraviolet rays and convert them into heat energy, thereby reducing damage to textiles. This feature makes silica important in the finishing of outdoor clothing, parasols and other products.
3. Enhanced dyeing performance
Silica can also promote the diffusion and adsorption of dyes, making dyeing more uniform and color saturation higher. Adding silica to textile finishing can make textiles easier to color during the dyeing process, and the color is brighter and more lasting. This is of great significance for improving the appearance quality and market competitiveness of textiles.
4. Other applications
In addition to the above main applications, silica has some other potential application values in textile finishing. For example, adding silica to carpets can increase the durability and stain resistance of carpets, while providing good anti-slip and noise reduction effects. In addition, silica can also be used to make various filter materials, such as air filters, water filters, etc. Due to its extremely fine particles and high specific surface area, it can effectively filter tiny particles and pollutants.
5. Application prospects
With the improvement of people's living standards and the change of consumption concepts, the demand for textiles is also changing. As an inorganic filler material with excellent performance, silica has broad application prospects in textile finishing. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the in-depth expansion of the market, silica is expected to play a more important role in the field of textiles.
In summary, silica has many application advantages in textile finishing, such as improving mechanical properties, UV protection, and enhancing dyeing properties. With the continuous advancement of technology and the in-depth development of the market, the application prospects of silicacarbon black in the textile field will be broader.
