    Reactive Softener

    Reactive softeners have reactive groups that react with fibers to yield a softening effect through definite covalent bonds formed in the presence of an acid catalyst or at elevated temperatures. Reactive softeners include those based on sulphonic acid, isocyanate, disocyanate monoethanolamine, cyclopropane monocarbonic acid, N-methylol derivatives, 1,3,5-triazine, octadecyl ethylene urea, epoxy compounds, and carbamates.

    Reactive Softener

    Reactive softener have reactive groups in them which react with the
    fiber substance and yield a softening effect. The bond is definite
    covalent bond, formed in the prsence of an acid catalyst of elevated
    temeratures.

    PROPERTIES of REACTIVE SOFTENER:

    • Thus softener posses a reactive group, such as sulphonic acid,


    isocyanate group etc. Which react with the hydroxyl groups of
    the substrate
    • Their application is also similar to non-ionic softeners
    (Temporary effects are obtained when not cured) and to
    durable softeners.
    • Applied in acidic medium i,e. at PH 4 to 5.
    • Solubility Good. Easily soluble in hot & cold water.
    • Stability Stable to hard water & metals.
    • Compatibility Compatible with cationic, anionic, acids &
    mild alkalies.
    • It gives softness & body filling effect surface smoothness and
    lubricity on cotton, polyester and on polyester-cotton
    blends, polyester-viscose blends etc.
    • It is very stable to high drying temperatures
    • Being extra white, it gives brightness to the fabric.
    • It gives brightness to the fabric.
    • Yellowing is observed on the finished fabrics.
    • It is very effective on Turkish towels.

    OLDEST REACTIVE SOFTENER:

    Stearyl amidomethyl pyrimidium chloride is one of the oldest


    products of this class. Due to liberation of pyridine and possible
    yellowing, its use is restricted.

    Softener based on dissocyanate monoethanolamine:


    .
    The reaction product of disocyanate monoethanolamine and higher
    alkyl isocyanate are softeners based on dissocyanate
    monoethanolamine. Further products prepared from cyclopropane
    monocarbonic acid, monoethanolamine and higher alkyl isocyanate
    are used as reactive softeners

    Softener based on 1,3,5 triazine:


    Softener based on 1,3,5 triazine are prepared using the idea of
    reactive dyes; a strong hydrophobic higher alkyl group is attached
    through – NH – bridge to a mono or dichloro-1,3,5 triazine group.
    Moreover, a great variety of polyethylene glycol modified triazine
    compounds are available as reactive softeners.

    Softener based on octadecyl ethylene urea:

    Softeners based on octadecyl ethylene urea import durable water

    products of appropriate carbamates with formaldehyde. On the
    other hand, amidourethane with cyclopropanyl reactive groups are
    softeners reacting without a catalyst. Stcorylamine apichlorohydrin
    based softener also produce durable softening.
