Silicone Fluid Based Formulations

Leveraging on our vast manufacturing facilities, we are able to offer a wide range of silicone defoamer and silicone antifoams that contain non ionic surfactants & functional additives. With the help of different surfactants, we provide various types of silicon antifoam, antifoam emulsion and silicon antifoam emulsion with foam stability. Depending upon the nature of surfactants such as nonionic, cationic, anionic or amphoteric, the liquid can be either aqueous, non-aqueous or both.

 

The foams of these emulsions are the result of dissolved molecules in a liquid that alter the surface tension of the liquid.

 

Formulation process of these silicone defoamer and silicone antifoams:

 

• Agitated bubbles will form, which will immediately encounter gravitational effects pulling liquid along the bubble walls back down into the liquid beneath the bubble
• A simplified picture of a bubble can be described as spherical, having both an outer wall and inner wall
  When the surface tension is high enough, bubble formation becomes more rigid and stable
• If a bubble is subjected to mechanical agitation, bubbles caused by entrained air, would form very stable lamellar structures
• The Marangoni effect is a major stabilizing factor in foam, and is driven by osmotic pressure
• The aqueous liquid is being pulled through the bubbles'' walls creating regions of low and high surfactant concentrations, which sets up a gradient along the bubbles'' surface
• The gradient would pump liquid back onto the bubble walls, where this phenomenon is referred to as a surface transport
• The bulk viscosity also contributed to foam stability
• As the viscosity of liquids increase, entrained air can be trapped in bubble below the liquid''s surface
• With the increasing viscosity of the system, the coalescence capability of smaller bubbles merging to become larger bubbles also reduces
• If the bubbles become large enough (increasing the diameter), bubble stability decreases.

 

With the help of our experienced pharmacists, we are able to offer a wide range of silicone fluid emulsions that is available in various compositions to meet the specific requirements of our clients. Developed using advanced machines, these emulsions easily emulsify viscous methyl and blocked dimethyl silicone fluids. These pure in composition formulations are extensively used in various industries as release agents for rubber and plastic, hot metal lubricants and coatings.

 

For formulating these emulsions, we have developed modern machines that help us in providing tailor-made compositions of emulsions as per the requirements of our clients.

OM TEX SILICONE WATER REPELLENTS. DESCRIPTION

OMTEX SILICONE WATER REPELLENT ( SILWR05) is a water dilutable alkali alkyl siliconate  used for imparting a colorless water repellent surface finish to mineral building material without significantly reducing water vapour permeability.  OMTEX - SILWR05 develops its water repellent properties by reaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The active substance formed from the silicone water repellent is polymethylsilica. It is also used to provide a barrier against rising damp and the treatment remains effective for 5 – 10 years.

Our clients can avail from us a wide range of amino silicone emulsions, which is considered as a premium softeners used to improve the solidity and wear properties of the treated fabrics. Prepared after modifying numerous chemicals, fattyesters, amines, ethoxylates, amides, cationic and anionic emulsions are the most common amino silicone emulsions used.

 

These effective emulsions has replaced vegetable dyes for coloration, starches for stiffness, animal or vegetable fats & oils for flexibility and water repellents, which were commonly used by textile finishers to produce superlative quality fabrics.

Advantages of Emulsions:

 

• Being highly effective even at lower levels, these emulsions are required in lower concentrations than other softeners
• These silicone rich emulsions impart acceptable softness to fabrics, which are made from cheap, short fiber, open end spun yarns
• Cost effective
• These emulsions prolong fabric life due to its excellent surface and lubrication effects and make it abrasion resistant
• Due to high mechanical finishing, these emulsions also help in producing fabrics that are comfortable to wear and easy to maintain

With our expertise in this domain, we are able to offer a wide range of silicone fluids, which is a dimethyl polysiloxanes with un-branched chains consisting of alternate silicon & oxygen atoms. These water clear fluids have complex molecular structure, saturated with Methyl groups. This type of reactive structure makes these formulations inert in nature.

 

Keeping in mind the specific requirements of our clients, we offer these fluids in various viscosities ranging from 200 Cst - 60,000 Cst.

These fluids are available in following viscosities:

 

• 200 Cst
• 350 Cst
• 1000 Cst
• 5000 Cst
• 10,000 Cst
• 12,500 Cst
• 60,000 Cst

 

With the help of our qualified technologists, we are able to offer a wide range of amino silicone fluids that is an ideal softener containing amino ethyl and amino propyl groups. These amino groups are linked to the polymer by short hydrocarbon chains through hydrolysis and high temperature, which helps in easy handling of fabrics.

 

Being pure in composition and excellent in effectiveness, these fluids provide softness to the fabrics and make them resistant to abrasion.

 

We provide our clients, a wide range of non silicone defoamers for that is known for excellent defoaming action. Being 100% active compound, these deformers can easily replace silicone defoamer as it cause separation and spotting problems. To suit the specific requirements of our clients, we provide these deformers into various concentrations and compositions.

These non-silicon deformers find applications in:

• Detergent & Cleaners
• Pulp & Paper
• Lubricants, Fuels & organic acids
• Fermentation Units
• Textiles
• Paints & Coating Industry
• Polymerisation & Distillation Industry.
• Effluent Treatment Plants

We offer Silicone Softner.

Silicon based thread lubricants and sewing thread lubricants have given excellent results in the finishing of sewing thread to improve the threads surface slip & increase its heat resistance. Sewing characterstics are also improved, so that the thread does not break & surface gloss is also increased. The thread lubricants, sewing thread lubricants, silicon thread lubricants and thread lubricant emulsions are available as 100% conc. as well as in the form of Emulsions and 100% products are in paste form as well as clear Liquids. The Paste form requires heat for the application.

We offer Paraffin Oil/ Wax Emulsions.

Silicone spreader is a superior wetting agent, developed to improve the wetting, spreading and penetration of chemicals.

We offer Silicone Antifoams.
