In this paper, the effect of silicone softener application on low-stress mechanical and surface properties of textile materials is investigated using the Kawabata evaluation system for fabrics. Regression equations are derived to describe the influence of the treatment conditions—temperature, curing time, and softener concentration—on mea sured KES characteristics. The physicomechanical parameters of most correlation in teractions and the importance of end quality are outlined. This work provides an ap proach for selecting KES parameters that are appropriate for quality control in silicone softener application.
