Hydrogen silicone emulsion is a water-based dispersion system primarily composed of hydrogen-containing polysiloxane (with H-Si bonds). It exhibits outstanding hydrophobicity, softness, and crosslinking activity, widely used in textiles, papermaking, leather, and personal care.
Key Features
Water Repellency: Forms a hydrophobic film on fiber surfaces, enhancing fabric resistance to wetting.
Softening & Smoothing: Reduces friction coefficient, providing a silky touch.
Thermal Crosslinking: Reacts with substrates via Si-H bonds for durable performance.
Common Applications
Textiles: Waterproofing agent (e.g., outdoor jackets, tent fabrics)
Leather: Glossy softening agent
Papermaking: Anti-sticking agent
Cosmetics: Film-forming component in conditioners
Eco-Friendly: Low-VOC water-based system aligns with green manufacturing trends.
