Textile Applications LUDOX® colloidal silica can be applied to fibers, fabrics, and yarns to increase fiber friction. This results in reduced yarn slippage during processing and improved weave setting properties in fabrics. To achieve special effects such as delustering and increased soil resistance, LUDOX® colloidal silica is also used to modify sizes, binders, and coatings.
