Silicone polyethers, or silicone surfactants, contain both a water-insoluble silicone backbone and a number of water-soluble polyether pendant groups. The ratio of the silicone to polyether, and the molecular weight and composition of the components determine the solubility and specific properties of a product. These products exist as multi-pendant and linear di-functional polymers. Siltech offers a broad range of silicone polyethers as well as custom-designed products for specific applications. These are also available in cosmetic grades, where they are commonly referred to as dimethicone copolyols.

These products are widely used as emulsifiers, foaming agents, solubilizers and softeners. They are also used in many inks and coatings formulations were they add slip, mar resistance and leveling.

Silsurf

Siltech offers a series of alkylated silicones co-reacted with polyethers to make them either fully or partially soluble in water. Siltech has the capability of offering any alkylated silicone wax in a water-soluble form. These products are very effective for emulsifying both organic oils and silicones with water.

Silube

Silicone Dialkyl Quats-Where the alkyl group can range from C1 to C18. These are 70% active in hexylene glycol, except as otherwise noted. The dialkyl quats are substantive to fibers, are non-yellowing and provide softness, lubricity and anti-stat properties in textile applications. They also provide water repellency to glass and automotive surfaces. Silicone Polyether Fatty Quats-Where the fatty group can range from lauric to stearic.

Silquat

Silwax alkylated silicones are based on alkyl pendant groups ranging from C2 to C32. The ratio of silicone to alkyls and the chain length of the alkyls determine the melting point and liquidity of the final product. These products can range from liquids to soft pastes to hard waxes. They are excellent lubricants in textile, metalworking and automotive applications. They impart water and solvent repellency to textiles, and flow, leveling, slip and mar resistance to inks and coatings. They also provide gloss, emollience and softness in personal care applications. The Silwax alkylated silicones are represented by both alkyl and alkyl aryl silicones.

Silwax

The Silmer line of reactive silicones consists of both multifunctional and linear-difunctional silicone pre-polymers with reactive terminal end groups. The silicones can be co-reacted into various polymers for coatings, plastics, resins, and other applications to incorporate silicone moiety into a polymer structure. Some basic homologs are offered in each class, but any other homologue can be custom made.

Silmer

Silicone Amines – Silamine
Primary-Secondary Amines-These are aminoethylaminopropyl-based amines, Solubilized Primary-Secondary Amines-Where the aminoethylaminopropyl silicone is solubilized with polyether groups.

Silamine

These are salts formed with anionic and cationic siloxanes or organics.

SilPlex

While silicones provide many unique performances, it is often desirable to achieve these properties in aqueous systems. This is accomplished by emulsifying the specific silicone. Siltech’s various emulsions are used in many industrial applications such as mold release, polishes for automotive tires and furniture as well as in many personal care products where it adds softness and shine in many products.

Siltech

Fluorinated Silicones – Fluorosil
Siltech offers a series of fluorinated silicones as well as fluorinated silicones that also contain alkyl or polyether pendant groups. By virtue of the fluorine group, these products offer good solvent resistance, lubricity and slip. The ratio of fluorine and silicone can be varied to suit the customer’s needs.

Fluorosil

Silmer® Q9 IDD is a series of MQ resins which consist of tetrafunctional Q group ( silicon surrounded by four oxygen groups) endcapped with mono functional M group ( silicon with one oxygen group). These resins can vary in molecular weight and crosslinking density so that they can vary from liquid pourable resins at low molecular weight to film formers which are provided in solvent at higher molecular weights and crosslink densities.

Silmer® Q9 IDD

Fluorosil®L118 is a soft paste fluorinated and alkylated silicone. The fluoro pendant gives excellent softness and slip while the alkyl pendant groups make it more compatible with many organic systems. It provides gloss and softness to personal care products and can be used as a lubricant and softener in many
industrial applications, such as textile and tissue paper. Fluorosil®L118 has an INCI name of Perfluorononylethyl Stearyl Dimethicone.

Fluorosil® L118

Silsurf®J208 is a large molecular weight ethoxylated water-soluble silicone polyether. Silsurf®J208 has an INCI name of PEG-8 Dimethicone.

Silsurf® J208

Silmer® UR-5050 is a 45% active high molecular weight Silicone-Urethane resin that is diluted in Isododecane.

Silmer® UR-5050

Silwax®WS Special is a water-soluble silicone polyether wax. Silwax®WS Special has an INCI name of PEG-33 and PEG-8 Dimethicone and PEG-14. It has a melting point of around 33C.

Silwax® WS

Silsurf®A208 is a silicone glycol copolymer. It is used as wetting agent, surface tension depressant and emulsifier in various personal care and industrial chemical formulations. Silsurf®A208 has an INCI name of PEG-8 Dimethicone.

Silsurf® A-208

Fluorosil®J15 is a liquid fluorinated silicone. The fluoro pendant gives excellent softness and slip. It provides gloss and softness to personal care products and can be used as a lubricant and softener in many industrial applications, such as textile and tissue paper. The INCI name is Perfluorononyl Dimethicone.

Fluorosil® J15

Silwax®DMC-IS is a 100% active fatty silicone compound which is self emulsifying in water and dispersible in many solvents. Silwax®DMC-IS has an INCI name of PEG-7 dimethicone isostearate.

Silwax® DMC-IS

Silube®J208-812 is a water insoluble alkyl functional silicone polyether designed to emulsify water into organic oils. Silube J208-812 is a water insoluble silicone surfactant. The presence of a fatty acid attached to a long chain silicone copolymer in Silube J208-812 provides excellent lubricity and release properties in any water-based application. The balance of alkyl groups and polyethers on the same silicone backbone makes Silube J208-812 an excellent water-in-oil emulsifier.

Silube® J208-812
