Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of textile finishing and relates to a water-based polyurethane, an anti-pilling agent for wool knitted fabrics and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Wool knitted fabrics offer excellent elasticity, softness, close-fitting properties, breathability, warmth retention, and comfort. However, during wear and washing, the surface of the fabric is prone to pilling due to friction, which reduces its aesthetics and comfort. Furthermore, these pilling surfaces easily attract dust and dirt, affecting both the fabric's appearance and wearability. Therefore, anti-pilling finishing is crucial for wool knitted fabrics.

[0003] At present, the commonly used methods for preventing wool knitted fabrics from pilling include the following three approaches: the first is the physical method, which uses low-temperature plasma, ultraviolet irradiation, etc. to etch the scale layer and reduce the directional friction coefficient to achieve the anti-pilling effect. However, this method has unstable anti-pilling effect and is prone to damage the elasticity of wool knitted fabrics, seriously affecting the feel; the second is the chemical method, which uses sol-gel, polyester compounds, etc. to form a thin film on the surface of wool fibers to achieve the anti-pilling effect, but the durability is average; the third is the biological method, which uses biological enzymes to destroy the scale layer and reduce the elasticity of the fabric to achieve the anti-pilling effect, but this method is also prone to damage the elasticity of wool knitted fabrics, seriously affecting the feel.
