Nanotechnology Empowers Green Innovation in Textile Sizing Materials 

Recently, our company announced the successful development of a silica dispersion for sizing, using nanomaterial technology to overcome the bottlenecks of traditional textile sizing materials and provide a highly efficient and environmentally friendly solution for the sizing process of pure cotton and polyester-cotton yarns. This product, through the high-activity surface modification technology of nano-silica, significantly improves the adhesion of the sizing liquid to the fibers and the overall sizing performance, while also promoting the industry's reduced reliance on traditional PVA sizing materials, and contributing to the upgrading of the green textile industry. 

Core Advantages: Redefining the Value of Sizing Processes

1. Super Strong Adhesion, "Strong and Tough Bond" for Fibers

The product uses the active hydroxyl groups on the surface of nano-silica to form stable hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the starch sizing material and cotton fiber surface, significantly enhancing the adhesion of the sizing liquid to the fibers. Tests show that, for both pure cotton yarn and polyester-cotton yarn, the abrasion resistance and breaking strength of the yarn after sizing have been significantly improved, particularly for pure cotton yarn, where improvements to surface properties and mechanical properties are more significant, laying the foundation for high-quality yarn weaving.

2. Precise Matching, the "Ideal Partner" for Cellulosic Fibers

Designed for the characteristics of cellulosic fibers, the high activity of nano-silica significantly enhances its binding ability to yarn hydroxyl groups, significantly optimizing sizing efficiency. In the processing of pure cotton yarn, it can effectively reduce fuzz, improve smoothness, and help create fine and even high-quality yarn.

3. Synergistic Multi-functionality, Upgrading Weaving Efficiency and Quality

Enhanced Abrasion Resistance: The sizing film formed with the starch composite sizing material has far superior abrasion resistance to pure starch sizing material, greatly extending the service life of the yarn;

Fuzz Control: Reduces yarn surface fuzz, improves the smoothness of subsequent weaving processes, and reduces breakage rate;

Process Simplification: Can replace or partially replace traditional PVA sizing materials, simplifying the formulation while maintaining excellent performance and reducing production complexity.

4. Green and Environmentally Friendly, Responding to the Industry's Call for Sustainability

Breaking through the limitations of traditional sizing materials that rely on chemical raw materials, this product uses environmentally friendly nanomaterials as its core, has no harmful chemical residue, helps enterprises achieve "reduced PVA" production, conforms to the global textile industry's green transformation trend, and contributes to the "dual carbon" goals.

Application Scenarios: Full Industry Chain Adaptability, Continuous Value Release

Pure cotton / polyester-cotton blended yarns: Significantly improves the abrasion resistance and breaking strength of sized yarns, meeting the stringent requirements of high-end fabrics for yarn quality;

Green textile enterprises: Replace PVA sizing materials, reduce pollution emissions, and meet environmental certification standards;

Sizing material manufacturers: Provide high-performance additives, enrich product lines, and enhance market competitiveness.
