Applications
  • Silicone emulsifier designed to create low viscosity Water-in-Oil emulsions.
  • Oil phase flexibility for the emulsification of silicone and organic oils and their mixture.
Use Procedure
  • DOWSIL ES-5300 Formulation Aid is 2% for emulsions with a high level of water phase. Decreasing the water phase level will require increasing the emulsifier addition level. Thanks to its broad compatibility with silicone and organic oils and low viscosity, DOWSIL ES 5300 Formulation Aid is easily dispersed in the oil phase prior the addition of the water phase.
  • Water phase should be added slowly into the oil phase containing DOWSIL ES-5300 Formulation Aid using a variety of common mixers.
  • High shear mixing at the end of the emulsification process helps to decrease the particle size.

Usable Life & Storage
  • When stored at or below 40°C in the unopened original containers, this product has a usable life of 540 days from the date of production.
  • When stored below 10°C for more than a week, the material might develop a slight haze. If stored for longer (typically more than 4 months) at that temperature, an additional slight separation could also be observed. By heating the material to 40°C and applying a gentle agitation, the material will return to its original transparent appearance.
