Textile Use Sodium Acetate

Description

How is Sodium Acetate Trihydrate used in the textile industry？

Sodium Acetate serves as a pickling and neutralizing agent in the textile industry. It can help remove impurities, grease, and residues from textiles and improve the dyeing and finishing effects of textiles.
Besides, Sodium Acetate can dry the cotton fabric and improve the adhesion of the size on the fabric surface. CH3COONa can also improve the wet and dry fastness of the size and wet washing fastness.

Adding an appropriate amount of sodium acetate to the slurry can improve the adhesive force and permeability. In addition, Sodium Acetate Trihydrate can be suitable as a sizing agent for mercerized cotton fabrics. It is a non-ionic sizing agent and has a good effect on mercerizing. Its sizing agent in polyester, acrylic, and nylon textiles can improve the physical and mechanical properties of silk or chemical fibers. It can reduce fabric wrinkling and stringing during production when used on polyester, acrylic, nylon, wool, cotton, and other fabrics. Sodium Acetate Trihydrate can also increase the feel and gloss of textiles.

CH3COONa is a dye-bleaching agent and can also act as a dyeing auxiliary in the textile industry. When acting as a dye-bleaching agent, adding Sodium Acetate Trihydrate can reduce the bleaching effect of the dye. Plus, it can serve as a fabric deodorant. Adding CH3COONa when preparing chloroform or acetone has a bactericidal effect, and mixing it with other disinfectants can have a bactericidal effect.
