Organosilicon compounds improve water repellency and flame retardancy in textiles and leather, suggesting enhanced functionality.
In recent years, organosilicon compounds have been widely used in the textile and leather industries to improve the functional and protective properties of materials. Treatments based on silicon-organic compounds form a thin protective layer on the surface of fabrics and leather that provides water repellency, dust resistance, and flame retardancy. The molecular structure of these compounds, characterized by a stable –Si–O–Si– backbone with attached organic groups, significantly reduces surface energy and increases hydrophobicity.
