Polysiloxane-polyalkoxyether copolymer, also known as foam stabilizer or water-soluble silicone oil, is produced through the hydrolysis of chlorosilane to form polysiloxane, followed by condensation with polyether. It appears as a yellow or brownish-yellow viscous, transparent oily liquid.
Properties:
- Relative density (25°C/25°C): 1.04–1.08
- Acid value: <0.2 mg KOH/g
- Viscosity (50°C): (1.5–5) × 10-4m2/s
Water-soluble silicone oil is a reactive nonionic surfactant, soluble in water, alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbons, ethanol, acetone, etc. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and environmentally friendly.
This product can be used alone as an aqueous solution for fabric treatment or added to resin finishing baths. It is suitable for various fiber fabrics, including polyester, nylon, cotton, polyester-cotton blends, wool, and rayon. It significantly improves fabric hand feel, provides antistatic properties, and enhances washability and stain resistance.
Applications:
1. Cosmetics & Personal Care
Widely used in daily chemical products such as creams, emulsions, and shampoos. Shampoos containing water-soluble silicone oil leave hair fluffy, soft, glossy, and easy to comb.
2. Leather Industry
It imparts a smooth, glossy, soft, and comfortable hand feel to natural leather surfaces.
3. Coatings
An excellent additive for coatings, improving leveling properties and resulting in smooth, glossy surfaces.
4. Plastics & Mold Release
Functions as a plastic additive and mold release agent.
