Polyether Modified Silicone Fluid

General Information

• Product Name: Polyether Modified Silicone Fluid
• Catalog: SUR-NON-093
• Applications: Coatings and paints, personal care products, agricultural adjuvants, textile processing, others

Introduction

Polyether modified silicone fluids combine the unique properties of silicone with the versatility of polyethers. By modifying silicone with polyether groups, these fluids exhibit improved solubility in water and organic solvents, increased flexibility, and superior performance in diverse environments. These attributes make polyether modified silicone fluids invaluable in numerous industrial sectors, from coatings and personal care products to agriculture and textiles.

Characteristics

Polyether modified silicone fluids possess several distinctive characteristics that make them highly effective in numerous applications:

• Enhanced Compatibility: The integration of polyether chains into the silicone backbone significantly improves compatibility with a wide range of substances, including water and organic solvents.
• Improved Spreadability and Wetting: These fluids exhibit excellent surface activity, providing superior wetting and spreading properties.
• Thermal and Chemical Stability: Retaining the inherent stability of silicone, polyether modified silicone fluids can withstand high temperatures and resist chemical degradation.
• Biocompatibility: The polyether modification often enhances the biocompatibility of these fluids, making them suitable for use in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and food-grade applications.

Applications

The versatile nature of polyether modified silicone fluids allows them to be employed across a wide array of industries:

• Coatings and Paints: In the coatings industry, these fluids are used to improve leveling, gloss, and surface smoothness. Their excellent wetting properties ensure uniform application and reduce surface defects.
• Personal Care Products: Due to their enhanced biocompatibility and emollient properties, polyether modified silicone fluids are widely used in cosmetics and skincare formulations. They provide a silky, smooth feel and improve the spreadability of products like lotions and creams.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: These fluids are used in agricultural sprays to enhance the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and fertilizers on plant surfaces, thereby increasing their efficacy.
• Textile Processing: In the textile industry, they are used as softeners and lubricants, imparting a soft hand feel to fabrics and improving the processing efficiency of textile fibers.

Packaging and Storage

• Packaging Options: Typically packaged in 25L and 200L drums.
• Storage Conditions: Stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and sources of heat and free from exposure to acids or alkaline substances, which could compromise its chemical integrity.

The modification with polyethers imparts several beneficial attributes to silicone fluids, such as improved solubility in both water and organic solvents, superior wetting and spreading capabilities, and enhanced compatibility with different substrates.
