Handle Modifiers (Basic Softeners, Silicone softeners)

Softeners are utilised to enhance a large range of textiles, and the majority of these handle modifying finishes are applied to clothing to improve the texture and drape of specific fabrics, conferring different effects of softness such as bulk or smooth and slick. Other softeners offer technical advantages too such as hydrophilic finishes for example where a bath towel needs to be soft to the skin yet absorbent.

Our range of softeners are suitable for a wide range of finishing and processing requirements and cover the main areas commonly used such as high quality durable silicone softeners (Micro and Macro Emulsions), Hydrophilic Silicone softeners, semi / non-durable cost effective basic conditioning agents based on quaternary amines and fatty acid amides.
