 Silicone products have been widely used in textile processing and finishing because of their excellent characteristics such as lubrication, softness, hydrophobicity, weather resistance and cold heat resistance, etc. In the early 1950s, dimethyl silicone oil was used for the first time as a fabric water repellent treatment agent, and since then, countries have conducted extensive and in-depth research on the development of silicone textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries, which have been rapidly expanded to fabric softener, fiber pile smoothing agent, spinning and spinning linen finishing agent The product has been rapidly expanded to include fabric softener, fiber pile smoothing agent, spinning and spinning linen finishing agent, anti-bacterial and anti-mildew finishing agent, anti-static finishing agent, flame retardant finishing agent, coating finishing agent, anti-UV finishing agent, as well as anti-shrinkage, water repellent, anti-moth, anti-fouling, anti-wrinkle, anti-pilling finishing agent. At present, silicone products have become indispensable supporting processing aids for the modern textile industry. And a strong impetus to the introduction of new varieties of functional fabrics.

Since 2009, in the country to expand domestic demand, growth, adjust the structure, the livelihood of a series of macroeconomic policies and measures to support the industry to accelerate structural adjustment, change the growth mode of the endogenous driving force, China's textile industry to show a stable recovery, the development of a gradual improvement in the good situation, production and sales continued to grow. 2010 quarter Textile industry added value rose 13.4% year-on-year, 7.3% faster than the same period last year export delivery value month-on-month from the same period last year fell 8.5% to 14% growth. 1 ~ February, 53,300 domestic textile enterprises above the size of the total industrial output value of 567.328 billion yuan, an increase of 27.05% textile industry development continued last year's stabilization trend, domestic enterprises textile Production and exports continue to show a good situation since. The main reason for the smooth running of the textile industry opening is the consolidation of domestic sales support, export growth is faster; but rising labor costs, the pressure of the appreciation of the yuan, the cost of raw materials rising fast, to a certain extent, will also limit the growth of the industry. Although the textile industry still faces a series of uncertainties in 2010, but the domestic market will still play a significant role in pulling the industry, industry restructuring and industrial upgrading will continue to achieve results. In the international market environment remains basically stable conditions, the textile industry will continue to achieve a steady rise in the total exports of textiles and clothing industry in 2010 is expected to grow by about 4% year-on-year, the total industrial output value of enterprises above the size of about 11% year-on-year growth, total profit growth of about 10%.

At present, China's silicone finishing agent with the world's advanced level compared to a certain gap, mainly in the product range is less, weak R & D capabilities, some high-grade products still need to be imported. To this end, domestic R & D personnel to step up research. In 2009, the consumption of silicone oil for textiles in China was about 45,000t, of which domestic products accounted for about 70% of the total consumption. The growth trend of the textile industry is bound to drive the development of silicone textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries, which requires the development of new products to adapt to the textile processing process, grafting with other functional auxiliaries to make the product functional; and other auxiliaries used in combination to obtain a good overall result, the introduction of new silicone finishing agents will continue to promote the functionalization of textiles and high-end.
