Description

Siloxanes And Silicones, Di-Me, Lauryl Me, Me Myristyl is a specialized organomodified silicone fluid, specifically a lauryl/myristyl alkyl methyl siloxane. This compound is valued for its unique ability to impart exceptional lubricity, softness, and water repellency to formulations while maintaining good compatibility with organic systems. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking high-performance, multifunctional additives.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient and conditioning agent in hair care products (shampoos, conditioners), skin creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a non-greasy, silky feel.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Used as a softener and water repellent finish for fabrics, leather, and non-woven materials, enhancing handle and durability.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a high-performance additive in mold release formulations, wire drawing lubricants, and metalworking fluids due to its excellent lubricating properties and thermal stability.
• Plastics & Rubber Processing: Functions as an internal and external lubricant and processing aid, improving flow, mold release, and surface finish of polymer compounds.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Imparts mar resistance, slip, and improved leveling in coatings, while also enhancing water beading and stain resistance.
• Polishes & Waxes: A key ingredient in automotive and furniture polishes, providing deep gloss, water repellency, and protective film formation.

Quality Control

Our Siloxanes And Silicones, Di-Me, Lauryl Me, Me Myristyl is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent viscosity, refractive index, specific gravity, and alkyl content meet defined specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep away from strong alkalis and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent viscosity drift.
