Description
Chemical Structure
The high viscosity of certain silicone oils can be effectively reduced by their emulsification. The aim of silicone emulsion formulation is to improve & facilitate the product's presentation, processing and efficiency. The various components in emulsions (the carrier, typically water, the silicone, and its emulsifiers) do not react with one another, nor do they react with the surfaces that they are applied to. Emulsions are therefore ideal for surface treatment applications since they are less viscous than the oils they are delivering. Their other advantage is that preparation is simple: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) oils are dispersed (emulsified) in an aqueous system (and they are particularly practical since they are easy and safe for the end user to handle, apply and dilute.

Performance
Silicone emulsions are insoluble silicones evenly dispersed in water with the aid of an emulsifying surfactant. They can be divided into three groups, depending on the type of emulsifier system used, i.e. they can be anionic, cationic and non-ionic. Most emulsions are non-ionic, making them compatible with either of the other two systems but, depending on the application, cationic or anionic emulsions may be preferable.
The physical characteristics of these emulsions can be altered by using different polymers to modify their viscosity if needed. High percentage solid versions supplied as concentrates, for dilution with water prior to use, reduce transport costs and the space required for their storage.
Silicone fluids are commonly used in the form of aqueous emulsions, which may be further diluted with water. A distinction is made between opaque (i.e. milky) macro-emulsions with particle sizes from 100 nm to several µm and clear or opalescent micro-emulsions, with particle sizes below 100 nm.
