Polydimethylsiloxane Emulsions
XIAMETER® Brand Polydimethylsiloxane Emulsionsiameter Indonesia : Silicone Oil Silicone Fluid Silicone Emulsion
XIAMETER polydimethylsiloxane emulsions are stable blends of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymers in water. In the beauty and personal care industry, polydimethylsiloxane is known by its INCI name, "dimethicone."
Features And Benefits
XIAMETER polydimethylsiloxane emulsions provide many of the benefits of polydimethylsiloxane fluids, but in an easier-to-use, water-based form, examples include:
- The ability to endure harsh processing and operating conditions
- Excellent water repellency
- Defoaming properties
- Heat stability
- Oxidation resistance
- Inert, nonreactive
- Soft feel, lubricity, gloss and shine
Typical Uses
- Water repellents (hydrophobing agents) for glass wool and mineral wool insulation
- Auto polishes, rubber/vinyl protectants, tire dressings
- Furniture polishes
- Industrial release; mold release; release of bonded shell molds and cores in metal casting; release of rigid polyurethane foam; release of plastic or rubber parts
- Lubricant for extruded rubber parts, conveyor belts
- Yarn and thread lubricant
- Foam control in textile processes (dying, printing, fabric sinking, latex coating, bleaching, scouring, finishing and sizing); chemical processes, including drilling mud, effluent processing, latex compounding, vessel cleaning, pesticides
Structure And Composition
The polymers in PDMS emulsions are linear siloxanes that vary in viscosity from very low to ultrahigh.
