Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of leather finishing, and specifically relates to an organosilicon feel agent for improving the physical properties of leather and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Leather feel agents are products used to adjust the touch of the leather surface, which can bring smoothness, moisturizing, oiliness, cottoniness and other kinds of feel to the product. There are many types of feel agents, which can be divided into silicone feel agents, wax feel agents, and silicone wax composite feel agents according to the components. Conventional wax feel agents have the disadvantages of wax not being easy to emulsify, the emulsion state being general, and the feel types being few. There are many types of silicone feel agents, and they can be hydrophilically modified, and are suitable for various systems.

[0003] The most common silicone feel agent is a silicone emulsion of polyether-modified silicone oil. The polyether-modified silicone oil is obtained by introducing polyether segments into the silicone chain through various reactions from reactive base silicone oils, such as amino silicone oil, epoxy silicone oil, hydrogen-containing silicone oil, etc. However, for polyether-modified silicone oils under this route, when the molecular weight of the base silicone oil reaches 20,000 to 100,000, the grafting rate of the introduced polyether is often not high, and it is difficult to reach more than 95%. A low grafting rate can easily lead to poor stability and performance fluctuations after the silicone oil is made into silicone emulsion.
