As the textile and leather industries continue to pursue functionality and comfort, innovation in material additives is becoming a key driver of industrial upgrading. IOTA aminofluorosilicone fluid, with its structural advantages of combining softness, hydrophobicity, and chemical resistance, has become an emerging star material in the high-end textile and leather finishing fields.
Aminofluorosilicone oils incorporate fluoroalkyl and amino side chains into the siloxane backbone, providing both modification and reactivity. This allows them to react with active groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in fabrics or leather during the finishing process, forming a robust functional film. This film offers excellent feel-modifying properties and long-lasting water, oil, and stain repellency.
In textile applications, aminofluorosilicone oils are widely used in outdoor sportswear, functional underwear, work uniforms, and other fields. They not only improve the skin-friendliness and suppleness of fabrics, but also enhance their durability in outdoor environments. In leather processing, they act as softeners and feel enhancers, significantly enhancing the texture and premium feel of leather while also maintaining wear resistance and anti-fouling properties.
Furthermore, aminofluorosilicone fluid's excellent emulsification properties and low surface energy make it suitable for formulations in products such as leather finishing and leather protectants, helping downstream products achieve both functionality and aesthetics.
With increasing consumer demand for high-performance textile and leather products, IOTA aminofluorosilicone fluid is becoming a key player in the functional additive market, leading the industry towards greener, more efficient, and multifunctional development.
