  Abstract

Softening finishes are widely applied to clothing products to provide them with fullness, a soft and moist silky touch, gloss, and elastic recovery functionality. However, the color change in cotton fabrics treated with silicone-based softeners is the disadvantage of softening finishes. In this study, a new nanosized silicone-emulsion softener was developed; there was a decrease in the color change of fabrics after finishing compared to finishes using conventional silicone softeners. To decrease yellowing of cotton fabrics, the hydrophilicity of the amino-silicone softener was controlled. The hydrophilic amino-silicone softener (amino value=0.33%) was reacted with ethylene carbonate to increase its hydrophilicity. The silicone nanoemulsion softener was padded onto the cotton knit fabrics and cured at 160 °C for 2 min, and the properties of cotton fabrics before and after finishing were evaluated.
