Versatile Silicones: Drive Efficiency and Quality in Textile Manufacturing

Momentive’s hydrophilic finishes, including the Magnasoft™ line, elevate the water absorption properties of woven fabrics, delivering rapid strike-through, non-migrating characteristics, and superior softness. These enhancements make fabrics more comfortable and functional, perfect for high-performance applications.

With lower VOC content and water-dispersibility, Momentive’s finishes can be applied through pad bath, spray, kiss-roll, and foam finishing methods, adapting seamlessly to diverse manufacturing needs.

Momentive’s hydrophilic finishes are ideal for sportswear, towels, and bedding, boosting the functionality and comfort of textiles. This versatility ensures that treated fabrics consistently meet high standards, making them suitable for both daily and specialized applications.

Silicone foam control agents play a vital role in the textile industry by effectively managing foam during manufacturing, which enhances processing speed and productivity. These textile antifoams prevent foam formation and quickly reduce existing foam, minimizing the need for water and chemicals like bleach and dyes.

SagTex™ foam control agents are high-performance antifoam emulsions specifically designed to meet diverse needs within textile production. Known for their strong initial foam knockdown and outstanding durability, SagTex™ foam control agents perform effectively even at low concentrations. They ensure smooth, homogeneous dilution in water or bath formulations, eliminating oiling and agglomeration issues.
