This article mainly introduces the application of HEC in the textile industry
●Fabric sizing
HEC has been used for sizing and dyeing of yarn and fabric materials for a long time. This glue can be washed away from the fiber by washing with water. In mixing with other resins, HEC can be more widely used in fabric treatment. It is used as a forming agent and binder in glass fiber, and as a modifier and binder in leather paste.
●Fabric Latex Coatings, Adhesives and Adhesives
Adhesives thickened with HEC are pseudoplastic. That is, they thin out under shear, but quickly return to high viscosity control and improve print clarity.
HEC can control the release of moisture and allow it to flow continuously on the dyeing roller without adding adhesive. Controlled water release allows more open time for better filler containment and better tacky film formation without significantly increasing drying time.
At a concentration of 0.2% to 0.5% in solution, HEC XT-4 can improve the mechanical strength of non-woven adhesives, reduce wet cleaning on wet rolls, and increase the wet strength of the final product.
HEC XT-40 is an ideal adhesive for printing and dyeing of non-woven fabrics, and can obtain clear and beautiful images.
HEC can be used as a binder for acrylic coatings and as an adhesive for non-fabric processing. It is also used as a thickener for fabric primers and adhesives. It is non-reactive with fillers and remains effective at low concentrations.
●Dyeing and printing of fabric carpets
In carpet dyeing, such as Kusters continuous dyeing system, few other thickeners can match the thickening effect and compatibility of HEC. Due to its good thickening effect, easy solubility in various solvents, low impurity content, does not interfere with the absorption of dyes and the diffusion of colors, making printing and dyeing free from insoluble gels (this insoluble gels can cause spots on fabrics) and Homogeneity limits for high technical requirements.
