Hydrophilic silicone oil is a functional textile finishing agent that enhances softness while maintaining moisture absorption and breathability. Unlike conventional silicone oils that create a water-repellent surface, hydrophilic types are designed to allow water vapor and liquid moisture to pass through the fabric structure.

The chemical composition of hydrophilic silicone oil includes modified polysiloxane chains with hydrophilic groups. These groups interact with water molecules, ensuring that treated fabrics remain comfortable against the skin. The result is a soft, smooth, and breathable fabric surface suitable for applications such as activewear, undergarments, and home textiles.

In textile processing, hydrophilic silicone oil is applied during the finishing stage, either by padding or exhaustion methods. It forms a uniform coating that improves fabric hand feel while preserving dyeing and printing properties.

Hydrophilic silicone oil helps balance comfort and performance by combining smooth touch with moisture regulation. It is compatible with a wide range of fibers, including cotton, viscose, and synthetics. The product supports the development of textiles that respond to modern expectations for comfort and functionality in daily wear.
