Hydrophilic Jelly Granules: Functional additives that Endow fibers with moisture absorption properties!

In the field of synthetic fibers, hydrophilic water particles, as a key functional additive, effectively improve the moisture absorption and sweat-wicking performance of hydrophobic fibers such as polyester and polypropylene, expand the application range of synthetic fibers, and enhance the wearing comfort of textiles.

Technical principles and composition structure

Hydrophilic water particles are granular composite materials formed by uniformly encapsulating a high proportion of hydrophilic agents, dispersants and other additives with polymers as the carrier through precise blending technology. The core mechanism of action lies in the fact that during the spinning process, the masterbatch and the fiber matrix resin are uniformly mixed and melted, allowing the hydrophilic active components to be dispersed within and on the surface of the fibers. These components, through chemical adsorption and physical action, can capture water molecules in the environment, reduce the contact Angle between fibers and moisture, and thereby significantly improve the wetting performance of originally hydrophobic synthetic fibers.

In terms of composition, hydrophilic jellyfish particles typically consist of three main parts: the first is a hydrophilic polymer or surfactant as the functional main body; The second is a polymer carrier with good compatibility with the fiber matrix; The third is a dispersed lubrication system that ensures the uniform dispersion of functional components. The design of this multi-component composite structure is the basis for realizing its function.

Performance characteristics and application value

Synthetic fibers modified by hydrophilic particles exhibit multiple performance improvements. Its moisture absorption rate and moisture permeability have been significantly improved, enabling it to quickly absorb sweat from the skin surface and conduct it to the outer layer of the fabric for evaporation. Meanwhile, the antistatic performance of the modified fibers has also been enhanced, reducing the awkwardness of the fabric adhering to the skin. From the perspective of processing, suitable hydrophilic particles should not affect the stability of the spinning process and have no significant negative impact on the mechanical properties of the fibers.

These characteristics make the jellyfish granules demonstrate significant value in multiple fields. In the field of sportswear, modified chemical fiber fabrics can provide a moisture-absorbing sensation similar to that of cotton while maintaining the advantages of chemical fibers such as being lightweight and quick-drying. In home textile products, hydrophilic modification enhances the comfort experience of bedding and towels. In the field of medical and health care, improved non-woven fabric materials have better liquid drainage performance.

Development trends and technical requirements

With the development of market demand, hydrophilic jellyfish particle technology is moving towards multi-functionality, durability and environmental friendliness. The new generation of products not only focuses on the initial hydrophilic effect, but also pays more attention to the durability of water washing. Some products use cross-linking technology to firmly attach hydrophilic components to the fibers. Meanwhile, composite functional masterbatches are gradually gaining popularity, such as those that possess multiple properties including hydrophilicity, antibacterial, and UV resistance. From an environmental protection perspective, the development of environmentally friendly jellyfish granules using bio-based raw materials or degradable components has also become a focus of the industry.

As an important part of the development of functional fibers, the technological progress of hydrophilic particles continuously drives the quality improvement and application innovation of synthetic fiber products. Through precise formula design and processing technology control, this functional additive is providing reliable technical support for creating more comfortable and healthy textile materials.
