The Application of  Polyether silicone oil 

Overview ：

Polyether silicone oil, also known as polyether modified silicone oil, is an organosilicon compound that combines the properties of polyether and silicone oil. It is synthesized by grafting polyether chains onto the main chain of silicone oil, resulting in a hybrid polymer with unique physical and chemical properties. This combination gives silicone oil water solubility or dispersibility, as well as enhanced surface activity and emulsification properties. Features

Appearance: Transparent to slightly yellow liquid

Solubility: Soluble in water and various organic solvents or dispersed in water

Surface activity: Reduces surface tension and enhances wetting, spreading and emulsification properties

Thermal stability: High thermal stability due to the silicone oil main chain

Chemical resistance: Resistant to oxidation, UV radiation and chemical degradation

Compatibility: Can be formulated with various surfactants, oils and other ingredients Application Examples
