Silicone Macroemulsions And Microemulsionsiameter Indonesia : Silicone Oil Silicone Fluid Silicone Emulsion

Silicone emulsions may be either macroemulsions or microemulsions, depending on the functionality or architecture of the base polymer. The majority of XIAMETER® brand silicone emulsions are macroemulsions.

Silicone Macroemulsions

---

• White emulsions used to formulate opaque products
• Typical average particle size = 0.1 to >1 micron
• Can contain up to 60% silicone content
• Tend to deposit their silicone benefits on external surfaces, where they reduce the dynamic coefficient of friction, providing a lubricating effect

XIAMETER® silicone macroemulsions are used in:

• Auto care products
• Beauty and personal care products
• Household care products
• Fabric care products
• Textile softeners
• Industrial release
• Water-repellent (hydrophobing) treatments
• Paper printing web release

Silicone Microemulsions

---

• Translucent emulsions used to formulate clear products
• Very small average particle size (<100 nm)
