PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone (e.q. Dow 5225C)
PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone (12.5% in Cyclopentasiloxane) is used as a water-in-silicone emulsifier.
PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone (12.5% in Cyclopentasiloxane) is used as a water-in-oil/silicone emulsifier.
recommend more Magnesium Sulfate 1-2% to improve formula stability reduce the chance of stratification
*Adding a High-HLB emulsifier such as Polysorbate 80 in a small amount of water (0.25-0.5%) before the water-oil bonding. will help the water-oil synchronization made easier Formulas will coordinate faster. and reduce the spinning power to save energy used in production
Use: It is a water-to-silicone binder.
Mixing method: Mix in the silicone, and while blending the siliconone, gradually add the water. Continue to blend until well blended.
Usage rate: 7-15% (10% recommended for most recipes)
Product characteristics: thick liquid
Solubility: Can be dissolved in silicone, dispersed in water.
Storage: can be stored at room temperature But close the lid of the bottle tightly. and protected from sunlight or heat, the product has a shelf life of at least 2 years
