1. Product Adaptability (Amino Silicone Oil of Qiangli Chemical)
- QL-2211: Amine value 0.21, viscosity 3000–5000 cP, low yellowing and smooth softness, suitable for light-colored/thin fabric masterbatch.
- QL-2212: Amine value 0.24, viscosity 6000–8000 cP, fluffy and soft, suitable for cotton/cotton-polyester masterbatch.
- QL-2214: Amine value 0.9, viscosity 700–1500 cP, high bulkiness and wash resistance, suitable for dark-colored/heavy fabric masterbatch.
2. Key Application Points for Soft Masterbatch
- Amine Value Selection (Critical)
- Light color/bleached fabric: 0.2–0.4 mmol/g (e.g. QL-2211), add 0.1% BHT for anti-yellowing.
- Medium color/general use: 0.4–0.6 mmol/g (e.g. QL-2212), balance softness and yellowing resistance.
- Dark color/heavy fabric: 0.6–0.9 mmol/g (e.g. QL-2214), high bulkiness and wash resistance.
- Processing Requirements
- Emulsification is mandatory: Prepare stable microemulsion of 30%–50% concentration first (nonionic/weak cationic system); avoid mixing with anionic auxiliaries.
- Temperature control: Extrusion/pelletizing temperature ≤ 160℃ (amino group tends to oxidize and turn yellow above 180℃).
- Dosage: 5%–15% in masterbatch (calculated by effective silicone content); excessive dosage easily causes migration and affects dyeing.
- Carrier resin: Adopt LDPE/PP/polyester elastomer with good compatibility with silicone oil and low precipitation.

Performance Advantages
Hand feel: Smooth softness, bulkiness, antistatic property, wash resistance ≥ 20 times.Stability: Low cyclic body and low volatility; no obvious migration after 6 months of masterbatch storage.Compatibility: Can be compounded with stearic acid, PEG, fatty alcohol, etc., to adjust hand feel style.
3. Common Problems and Countermeasures
- Yellowing: Reduce amine value to ≤0.4, add antioxidant, control temperature ≤160℃.
- Migration/Precipitation: Adopt low viscosity (<5000 cP) and low cyclic body model; dosage ≤15%.
- Emulsion instability: Use nonionic emulsifier, adjust pH to 5.5–6.5, adopt high-speed homogenization.
4. Conclusion & Suggestion
The amino silicone oil of Qiangli Chemical is fully applicable to soft masterbatch. Priority is given to QL-2211/2212 (medium-low amine value, low yellowing). Follow the process of emulsification → low-temperature pelletizing → dosage control to stably produce soft, smooth and wash-resistant soft masterbatch.
