1 of 28 products in this brand
LIOSIL® eco F 50 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of approximately 50 mm²/s. During the manufacturing of LIOSIL® eco F 50, all fossil-based raw materials are replaced with renewable raw materials (biomethanol) using a REDcert² biomass balance approach audited by TÜV NORD. Its unique chemical structure gives LIOSIL® eco F 50 exceptional properties that distinguish it from organic materials like mineral oils. Specifically, it exhibits a low surface tension and excellent spreading properties.

Functions: Water Repellent

Labeling Claims: From Renewable Resources

End Uses: Floor Polishes, Glass Cleaners, Metal Polish, Multisurface Polishes, Polishes, Shoe Polishes

Application Details

Due to its properties especially due to its excellent spreadability LIOSIL eco F 50 is mainly used in the polishes sector, particularly as ingredient of household care products. Due to its high water-repellent effect LIOSIL® eco F 50 is recommended as ingredient for impregnating agents like furniture or floor polishes.

Further applications are for example:

  • Shoe polish: Together with high viscous silicone fluids, LIOSIL® eco F 50 is ideal for the care of leather; a formulation containing LIOSIL® eco F 50 keeps leather durable and gives long-lasting protection.
  • Metal polish: Using LIOSIL® eco F 50, metal polishs can be formulated which provide metal surfaces a high gloss and protection against formation of stains.
  • Glass cleaner: LIOSIL® eco F 50 can be used formulating low viscous water repelling agent for glass surfaces, e. g. windows, mirrors and shower cabin walls.
  • Glass-ceramic cleaner and glass ceramic polish: Together with amino-containing siloxanes LIOSIL® eco F 50 facilitates the removal of burnt-on food residues, especially on glass-ceramics.
