Product overview
Silicone Emulsion is a water-based silicone product family used to deliver release, lubrication, surface feel, gloss, water repellency or conditioning. Buyers should specify silicone functionality, active content, ionic character, particle size and compatibility with the target formulation.
Function & Usage
- Condition Hair & Reduce Static
Supports conditioning, softness, combability or antistatic performance in suitable hair-care systems. Typical uses: Release and lubrication for rubber, plastics and molds, Textile softening and hand-feel modification, Polishes and surface-care formulations.
- Repel Water & Hydrophobize Surfaces
Reduces water uptake or increases surface hydrophobicity in suitable mineral, masonry, concrete or coating systems. Typical uses: Release and lubrication for rubber, plastics and molds, Textile softening and hand-feel modification, Polishes and surface-care formulations.
- Add Antistatic & Softening Performance
Supports antistatic behavior, softness, hand feel or conditioning in compatible textile, fiber or leather systems. Typical uses: Release and lubrication for rubber, plastics and molds, Textile softening and hand-feel modification, Polishes and surface-care formulations.

- Hazard / Transport:
- Silicone emulsions are formulation mixtures. Many aqueous grades are not regulated as dangerous goods, but emulsifiers, preservatives and amino-functional components can alter irritation, aquatic and transport classification; confirm the exact grade SDS.
- Storage:
- Keep tightly closed at the supplier-recommended temperature, commonly 5-35°C. Protect from freezing, excessive heat, direct sunlight and contamination; mix gently before use if the grade specification permits.
