BELSILĀ® WO 5000

BELSILĀ® WO 5000 is supplied as an approximately 30% active solution in dimethicone. The silicone polyglucoside contained in this solution is a nonionic surfactant with an HLB of approximately 6-7. This silicone polymer is synthesized using a renewable, natural, sugar-based component and is therefore, in part, rapidly biodegradable.

Properties
  • This silicone polymer is synthesized using a renewable, natural, sugar-based component and is therefore in part rapidly biodegradable. Silicone polyglucosides are surface-active silicone surfactants known for their mildness and gentleness.
  • These materials are typically not employed as primary surfactants as they do not produce a significant amount of foam on their own.
