Polyether Modified Silicones

SiSiB is a leading manufacturer of silanes and silicones in the world with more than 30 years’ history.

Polyether-modified silicone, also known as polyether modified polydimethysiloxanes, has two basic building blocks, Ethylene Oxide units (EO) and Propylene Oxide units (PO). It can be used as the silicone based surfactants with adjustable hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity which could be controlled by EO/PO ratio. The higher the alkene oxide content the higher the hydrophilicity. Polyether-modified silicone with ethylene oxide contents 75% and higher are freely soluble in water, as well as other commonly used organic solvents such as methanol, isopropanol, acetone, xylene, and methylene chloride.

Polyether-modified silicone by SiSiB, a relaible silicone oil supplier, can be used as surfactants, wetting agents and pigment dispersants for paints, leveling agents for coatings and softening agents in the textile industry.

SiSiB polyether-modified silicone can be used as foam stabilizers for PU foam.

SiSiB polyether-modified silicone can be used as non-ionic emulsifier for silicone personal care products.

SiSiB polyether-modified silicone can be used as agriculture adjuvants to provide superspreading and excellent spray coverage on many crops. It may help to reduced spray volume, enhance agrochemicals uptake & efficacy, improve uptake of active ingredients and provide better rainfastness.
