WACKER® E 22 is a high-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane formulated as an oil-in-water emulsion. This finely dispersed emulsion provides excellent stability, allowing for the preparation of highly diluted, ready-to-use formulations that are unaffected by shear forces. WACKER® E 22 is a special, finely dispersed formulation of a highly viscous polydimethylsiloxane in water. The emulsion is extremely stable, so even highly diluted, ready-to-use formulations are indifferent to shear forces.

Application Details

WACKER® E 22 is a special, finely dispersed formulation of a high viscous polydimethylsiloxane in water. The emulsion is extremely stable, so that even highly diluted ready-to-use formulations are indifferent to shear forces. Its wetting and spreading properties are excellent. Thus, also in case of using low ready-to-use concentrations, there will be an even and smooth film. The polydimethylsiloxane ingredient exhibits very high release properties and is resistant to mechanical stress.

Typical applications for WACKER® E 22 are:

  • Formulation of general-purpose release agents for rubber vulcanization
  • Ironing aid in aerosol formulations of starch.
  • Additive for fabric softener formulations

WACKER® E 22 has to be stirred well before use.
