Silicone surfactants used in personal care products in
Silicone products is a very special compound, has the characteristics of both organic and inorganic substances and has the characteristics. It is because of such a special formula, organic silicon products: a low surface tension, very easy to spread; low glass transition temperature; cold resistant good; good chemical stability, very safe for the skin; skin feel very smooth, not sticky. All these properties make silicone products are ideal for personal care products.
As early as the 1950s began on silicone products used in skin care and hair care products. 1952, DC200 silicone oil used in hand cream; in 1953, straight hair agent used in organic silicon products.
Organic silicon is very large, changing the spatial arrangement of organic silicon may form a cyclic silicone oil, chain oil, partially cross-linked and all cross-linked silicone. It can also get connected to different functional groups in the main chain phenyl silicone silicone. Amino silicone oil, alkyl silicone and polyether silicone oil. Which is connected to the hydrophilic polyether silicone polyether groups in the main chain of silicone, the hydrophobic silicone oil having different degrees of hydrophilicity. Depending on the HLB value can be obtained silicone emulsifier and water-soluble organic silicon products into two categories.
