Improving Textile Coating and Softness with Wax Emulsions

2025-07-28   Pageview:134

In modern textile processing, wax emulsion textile finishing additives provide multifunctional performance—improving softness, abrasion resistance, and hydrophobicity in coatings and finishing stages.

Key Advantages

  • Soft Touch: Adds silky or dry handle feel to woven and non-woven fabrics.

  • Anti-friction: Improves abrasion and pilling resistance.

  • Water Repellency: Enhances barrier function in technical textiles.

Technical Highlights

  • Particle size: ~150–300 nm emulsions for uniform fiber coverage.

  • Non-yellowing: Suitable for light-colored or white textiles.

  • Compatible with acrylic, PU, and silicone emulsions.

Application Recommendations

Textile Type Wax Usage Main Effect
Denim finishing 1.0–2.0% Softness, color protection
Non-woven fabric 0.5–1.5% Anti-blocking, improved hand
Technical fabric 1.0–2.0% Water resistance, durability

Observed Effects

  • Friction coefficient decreased by 20%.

  • Water contact angle increased up to 130° (depending on textile).

  • Wash durability: Effects sustained after 5+ washing cycles.

With wax emulsion textile finishing, formulators can enhance fabric aesthetics and performance—especially important in fashion, home textiles, hygiene products, and outdoor gear.
