Applications
  • Silicone emulsifier designed to create low viscosity water-in-oil emulsions
  • Oil phase flexibility for the emulsification of silicone and organic oils and their mixture
How to Use
  • The recommended addition level of DOWSIL ES-5600 Silicone Glycerol Emulsifier is 2% for emulsions with a high level of water phase. Decreasing the water phase level will require increasing the emulsifier addition level.
  • Thanks to its broad compatibility with silicone and organic oils and its low viscosity, DOWSIL ES-5600 Silicone Glycerol Emulsifier is easily dispersed in the oil phase prior the addition of the water phase.
  • Stable emulsions can be prepared by slowly adding water phase to the oil phase containing DOWSIL ES-5600 Silicone Glycerol Emulsifier using a variety of common mixing devices.
  • High shear mixing at the end of the emulsification process helps to decrease the particle size and increase the stability of the emulsion.
