| Product Description: SEM Series silicone emulsions are carefully formulated emulsions of dimethyl, alkyl modified dimethyl or a reactive silicone fluid and water. They are primarily designed for use in applications for rubber and plastic release agents, furniture polish, cosmetic, textile finishing and other specialty formulations. Each emulsion is based upon a silicone fluid of different viscosity ranging from 100 to >100,000 centistokes. Most SEM silicone emulsions have a specific gravity of approximately 1.00, a freeze/thaw stability of 4 cycles minimum and are white in color, except SEM401, which is yellowtinted white. SEM silicone emulsions contain a corrosion inhibitor and an anti-fungicide. Applications: In mold release application, SEM Silicone Emulsions are normally diluted with water to 0.5% to 2.5% active silicone to be sprayed, dipped or brushed on a mold. However, in a polish or specialty product formulation, the emulsions are normally used in their concentrated form. In most release applications a low-pressure spray gives the best results. Depending on the material being released, one application per cycle or one application per multiple cycles may be needed. Information provided by Akrochem Corporation |
