Silicone in the textile sector

The chemical properties of silicone allow it to adapt to a wide variety of shapes with high precision and minimal tolerance, making it the ideal material for the manufacture of stamping molds that reproduce designs with maximum accuracy and quality. Its high chemical resistance and low reactivity make it perfect for contact with toxic and corrosive materials, showing excellent behavior against dyes and textile products.

In stamping processes, silicone facilitates the transport of semi-finished or finished garments via conveyor belts and is key in merchandising and displaying final garments. It is also used in the transfer of dyes in dyeing sections and as a coating or sealing material in bagging machines. Its thermal resistance guarantees the durability and stability of molds and textile processing equipment.

At MEREFSA, we design and customize silicone solutions for the textile industry, ensuring precision, durability, and optimal performance in every application.

Silicone Strengths

Mechanical: Silicone offers high flexibility and resistance to deformation, progressive tearing, and traction, making it ideal for stamping molds and dragging profiles for yarn or garments in textile production processes. Its ability to adapt to different shapes ensures optimal performance in precision applications.

Thermal: It can withstand temperatures from -60 °C to +300 °C, ensuring stability and durability in extreme conditions. It is also used in fluid transfer in industrial processes within this thermal range. For high-temperature applications, special silicone formulations such as THT (very high temperature) are used.

Chemical: Silicone can be manufactured in a wide range of hardness, from 20 to 80 Shore in compact form and with densities from 0.2 to 0.8 g/cm³ in sponge form, ensuring a precise and high-quality printing process. Its chemical stability allows contact with corrosive materials. Platinum silicone offers high mechanical resistance in extreme conditions, while fluorosilicones are highly resistant to most solvents.

Where is it used?

Within the textile industry, silicone is used in the form of tubes as a container and fluid exchanger, including dyes and chemicals. It is also used in the maintenance of machinery, providing insulation and sealing in demanding environments, as well as in various laboratory applications.

In production processes, it facilitates the transport of materials and products within the plant, the packaging of finished products, and the dragging of threads and garments in textile machines. Additionally, it is key in merchandising elements and displaying finished products, such as hangers and display racks, and in stamping systems.

Specifically in: Tubes for liquid transport, silicone containers, stamping molds (in both compact and sponge silicone), profiles for garment dragging, non-slip profiles for hangers, silicone-coated conveyor belts, seals, and gaskets for machinery maintenance.
