Product Introduction
PEG-12 Dimethicone 200-400 CST is a copolymer of polydimethylsiloxane (Dimethicone) and polyalkoxyl (PEG-12). It combines the lubricity of silicone oil with the hydrophilicity of PEG chains. With 100% active content, it dissolves directly in cold water without emulsifiers or solvents, making it ideal for formulations requiring high transparency and stability
Enhanced Properties
- Dynamic Rheology: Maintains high viscosity (>200 cSt) at low shear rates for stable protective layers; exhibits significant shear thinning (pseudoplasticity) at high shear rates, enhancing coating and processing performance
- Amphiphilic Synergy: PEG chains improve water solubility and moisturization, while siloxane chains provide hydrophobic lubrication and smooth skin feel, suitable for sensitive skin
- Stability & Compatibility: Non-ionic nature ensures compatibility with anionic/cationic surfactants, electrolyte resistance, and stability across a broad pH range (4.5–7.0)
Application Scenarios
-
Cosmetics:
- Shampoos/Conditioners: Acts as a plasticizer to reduce resin stiffness and enhance hair softness (1–5% dosage)
- Shaving Foams/Cleansers: Enables stable foaming and smooth shaving via shear-thinning behavior
- Scar Repair Devices: Forms an occlusive barrier in Class II medical devices to improve healed scars (requires silica cross-linking for efficacy)
-
Industrial Uses:
- Cutting Fluid Additive: Leverages PEG's lubricity and low conductivity (<2 μS/cm) for electronic-grade polysilicon processing
- Antistatic Agent: Coats textile fibers to reduce frictional charge accumulation (molecular weight matches PEG-400–2000 grades)
