Polyether modified silicone oil is a kind of silicone nonionic surfactant with unique properties. It is formed by grafting copolymerization of polyether and dimethylsiloxane. This product plays an important role in the field of chemistry and meets the needs of multiple industries through its unique properties.
In the production of polyether modified silicone oil, various silicone surfactants with different properties can be obtained by modifying the number of silicone oil chains, changing the ratio of polyether Eo and Po, adjusting the number of chain links and end groups. These changes make polyether modified silicone oil has a variety of excellent performance characteristics, such as good lubricity, lower surface tension, soft properties, antistatic properties and good leveling properties.
Polyether modified silicone oil is widely used. In the plastic greenhouse industry, it can be added to plastics as an internal additive for the production of drip-free film greenhouses, which play the role of anti-fog and improve light transmittance. In the fabric finishing agent, polyether modified silicone oil can play a soft role, especially suitable for underwear, bed sheets, towels and other finishing, so that the fabric is soft, absorbent sweat, more comfortable to wear. In addition, it can also be used as a leveling agent for paint and polyurethane slurry to reduce the internal friction and stress of molecules, so as to play the role of leveling and defoaming.
Polyether modified silicone oil is also widely used in high efficiency cutting fluid, high grade cleaning agent, foaming agent of hard foam polyurethane system and other fields. In the cosmetics industry, it is used to make cream products, with lubricating skin, moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effect. In the pesticide industry, polyether modified silicone oil can be used as a wetting and spreading agent of glyphosate to improve efficacy and reduce public hazards. In addition, it is a key ingredient in the formulation of self-emulsifying defoamer and delayed coking defoamer for the oil refining industry.
It should be noted that polyether modified silicone oil may have a tendency to increase viscosity or even crosslinking when it is mixed with acid and alkali substances at high temperatures or when the storage period is too long. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid contact with strong acids and alkali when storing and using, and store in a dry and cool place.
In general, polyether modified silicone oil is a kind of silicone non-ionic surfactant with excellent performance and wide application, which plays an important role in many industries.
