Handle agent is used to adjust the sense of touch chemicals, in leather, wood and other industries. Hand feeling agent can give the product smooth feeling, soft feeling, astringent feeling, silk feeling, velvet feeling, oil feeling, wax feeling, sticky feeling and so on.
As the main components of hand feel agent are insoluble in water, the common hand feel agent can be divided into solvent and emulsion according to the product state. According to the main active components, it can be divided into wax handle agent, silicone handle agent and silicon wax compound handle agent.
Hand feeling is an important index to measure the apparent quality of leather and wood.
Why does silicone feel so good? Due to the special molecular structure characteristics of silicone, such as the structure and molecular weight of silicon oxygen chain segment, the content of silicon and directional arrangement, make in practical application of silicone feel agent effect is the best, the most variety, the most widely used, the fastest development. The leather after finishing through organosilicon feel agent can not only maintain flexibility, plump sex, air permeability, but also improve feel, improve softness. After finishing, the drying speed is fast, and it is not easy to become hard and brittle after drying. The surface of leather has good stability to water and chemicals, and it is not easy to be deformed, which helps to reduce the difference of leather parts.
Silicone is also the basis of preparing multifunctional handle agent, so the preparation of silicone handle agent is paid attention to.
