Silicone Fluid Emulsions By Wacker Metroark Chemicals Pvt. Ltd.

Our firm is a very prominent brand for manufacturing, exporting and supplying huge range of Silicone Fluid Emulsions from Delhi, India. Silicone fluids are often applied in the form of aqueous emulsions. As these can be readily diluted with water, small amounts of the substance can be uniformly distributed on substrates. There are basically two types: Macroemulsions with particle sizes from 100 nm to several i? m. These are usually opaque, i.e. milky.
Microemulsions with particle sizes less than 100 nm. These are usually clear or opalescent.
To provide a stable silicone emulsion, the surfaces of the fluid droplets are covered with surfactants (emulsifiers). The lipophilic i? oil-loving i? ends of the emulsifier are oriented toward the oil droplet. The hydrophilic i? water-loving i? centers provide the solubility in water.

Silicone emulsions are typically used in the textile, cosmetic and household care industries. As components of shampoos, silicone emulsions lend hair a silky softness, making it easy to comb after washing. Silicone emulsions are also used as water-repellent agents for protecting textiles or building and insulation materials against water and damp.
