ShinEtsu KFZ-314A is a soft-feel amino-modified silicone designed to enhance textile hand feel while maintaining stability during high-temperature drying processes. It delivers a smooth, silky user experience on both natural and synthetic fibers, improving drape, softness, and overall tactile quality without causing yellowing. It is widely used in garment finishing and fiber treatment for premium hand feel and process efficiency.

• Exceptional Softness – KFZ-314A imparts a smooth, silky tactile sensation by forming an amino-modified silicone layer on fibers, supported by its viscosity of around 3000 mm²/s. The high-viscosity film reduces fiber-to-fiber friction, allowing fabrics to maintain superior softness and improved hand feel across cotton, polyester, and blended substrates.

  
  

• High Emulsifiability – KFZ-314A easily emulsifies into stable formulations due to its amino-modified PDMS structure and controlled viscosity profile near 3000 mm²/s. This ensures uniform dispersion in textile finishing baths, enabling consistent application results and reducing instability during padding or exhaustion processes.

  
  

• Water Repellency – The silicone layer provides durable hydrophobicity by forming a uniform coating with a refractive index of approximately 1.403. This barrier helps textiles resist moisture penetration while maintaining breathability, offering extended repellency performance during fabric use and handling.

  
  

• Thermal Stability – KFZ-314A maintains integrity during high-temperature drying and curing, aided by its stable specific gravity of about 1.00. The formulation resists degradation at elevated temperatures commonly used in textile finishing, ensuring unchanged softness and consistent processing efficiency.

  
  

• Wash Durability – The amino-silicone network remains bonded to fiber surfaces even after repeated laundering cycles. Its optimized viscosity and molecular design allow the soft-feel performance to persist, enabling fabrics to retain smoothness and comfort through multiple washing and drying processes.

• Textiles – KFZ-314A is used in textile finishing to enhance fabric hand feel on cotton, polyester, and blends. Its viscosity near 3000 mm²/s supports uniform application, allowing fabrics to achieve premium smoothness and improved drape in large-scale production.

  
  

• Apparel Finishing – Applied in garment finishing lines to improve tactile quality of clothing, KFZ-314A resists yellowing during high-temperature processes. This stability supports consistent finishing results for premium apparel requiring soft, luxurious touch.

  
  

• Home Furnishing – The product is added to finishing treatments for upholstery, curtains, and bedding. Its durable hydrophobicity enhances long-term cleanliness and usability, and its specific gravity of around 1.00 ensures easy integration into standard finishing systems.

  
  

• Nonwoven Fabric – KFZ-314A improves softness and processing performance in nonwoven substrates used for hygiene products and wipes. Its strong emulsifiability promotes uniform silicone distribution, contributing to consistent material feel and flexibility.

  
  

• Automotive Interior – The silicone finish enhances the soft-touch quality of automotive textiles and interior fabrics. The refractive index of approximately 1.403 ensures uniform surface appearance while the durable hydrophobic film supports long-lasting comfort under frequent use.
