Organofunctional Emulsions
XIAMETER® Brand Organofunctional Silicone Emulsionsiameter Indonesia : Silicone Oil Silicone Fluid Silicone Emulsion
XIAMETER organofunctional silicone emulsions are stable blends of organofunctional silicone fluids and water. They provide many of the benefits of organofunctional silicone fluids, but in an easier-to-use, water-based form.
Functionalities And Applications
XIAMETER brand offers organofunctional silicone emulsions with amino and amido functionalities.
Amino
Reacts with many organic polymer systems to improve substantivity to metals and coatings. Crosslinks with protein-based substrates, like hair, to create fast-drying films without buildup.
- Mainly used in the preparation of low-yellowing textile softeners
- Adds gloss and shine to auto and hair care products
Amido
Adds many of the benefits of amino groups, but with less reactivity; adds non-yellowing softness; adds corrosion resistance. Often used in the formulation of rinse-cycle softeners for fabric care.
Polymer Structures
Substituting some of the methyl groups on a silicone polymer with other functional groups adds organic benefits without losing the valuable properties associated with traditional dimethyl siloxanes.
The organic groups can be attached:
- Pendant to the siloxane backbone (“rake” functionality)
- At both ends of the siloxane polymer chain (ABA functionality)
- At one end of the chain (AB functionality)
