Silicone in Textiles: Anti-Slip, Liquid-Proof and Heat-Resistant
Silicone is a revolutionary material in the textile industry, with applications beyond just printing. They provide anti-slip properties, liquid tightness and heat resistance to textile products.
Anti-Slip Properties
Silicone can be applied to textiles to create a non-slip surface. This is especially useful for products such as socks, gloves and sportswear, where extra grip is needed.
Liquid tightness
Silicones form a waterproof barrier, making them ideal for creating liquid-tight textile products. From raincoats to outdoor gear, silicone provides superior protection against moisture.
Heat resistance
Silicones can withstand high temperatures, making them an excellent choice for heat-resistant textile products. They are often used in kitchen and baking utensils, such as oven mitts and pot holders. This also makes curtains in public buildings flame-safe.
Conclusion
The use of silicone in textiles offers a range of benefits, including anti-slip properties, liquid tightness and heat resistance. These versatile applications make silicone an indispensable material in the modern textile industry.
