Silicone surfactants are a new generation of surfactants that have been studied as hot topics in recent years with the rise of new silicone materials. The surface activity of its hydrophobic silicone chain is very high and can significantly reduce the surface tension of water. It is a new generation of surfactants. It is a highly efficient surfactant and has become one of the research hotspots in the field of surfactants.
The bond energy of the Si-Si bond and Si-O bond of the hydrophobic group in the structure of the silicone surfactant is greater than the C-C bond and C-O bond of the traditional carbon chain surfactant, making it more stable and It has better hydrophobicity, larger relative molecular mass and multi-branched structural characteristics, which makes it have low-temperature performance, compatibility performance and environmental compatibility at the same time. Silicone surfactants are composed of polysiloxane and hydrophilic groups.
Silicone surfactant is a widely used surfactant in the daily chemical industry. It can be used as an emulsifier in various daily chemicals. When used in daily chemical products such as shampoo, it has the functions of emulsifying, foaming, dispersing and solubilizing, making the shampoo foam rich, fine and stable, and has an antistatic effect. Silicone surfactants have no side effects on the human body. They can form a protective film of fat layer on the skin surface to prevent dry skin. They are excellent skin lubricants and moisturizers. They are especially suitable as emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers for the preparation of facial and eye products. Department of cosmetics.
