As an indispensable part of the textile process, textile additives play a crucial role in improving the quality of textiles and increasing their functionality and added value. Among them, the weight gainer is a special
Textile auxiliaries have received wide attention and application in the textile industry in recent years.
I. The basic concept of weight gainer
Weight gainer, as the name implies, is an auxiliary that can increase the weight of textiles. It mainly achieves by forming a layer or multiple layers of film between textile fibers, or chemical bonding with fibers, so as to achieve
The purpose of increasing the weight of textiles. Weight gainers can not only improve the weight of the textile, but also improve their feel, wrinkle resistance and wear resistance.
II. Main types of weight gainers
According to the mechanism of action and chemical structure of the weight gainer, it can be mainly divided into the following categories:
Polymer weight gainer: This kind of weight gainer mainly forms a film between the fibers through high molecular polymers to increase the weight of textiles. Common polymer weight gainers include polyurethane, polyacrylate, etc.
Inorganic weight gainers: This kind of weight gainer mainly increases the weight of textiles by adding inorganic fillers, such as silicates, oxides, etc., to textiles. Inorganic weight gainers have low cost,
The advantages of obvious weight gain effect, but it may affect the breathability and moisture absorption of textiles.
Functional weight gainer: This kind of weight gainer not only has the function of increasing the weight of textiles, but also has other functions, such as antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet, etc. The development and application of functional weight gainers are textile auxiliaries.
A research hotspot in the field.
III. Application of weight gainer
Weight gainers are widely used in the textile industry, mainly in the following aspects:
Preparation of thick fabrics: By adding weight increasers, the weight and thickness of the fabric can be increased, making it more suitable for making heavy products such as winter clothing and curtains.
Improve the feel of textiles: Weight gainers can improve the feel of textiles, making them softer and fuller.
Improve the wrinkle resistance and wear resistance of textiles: The weight gainer can form a protective film between the textile fibers to improve the wrinkle resistance and wear resistance of textiles and extend their service life.
