What is the difference between polyglycerol-modified silicones 「KF-6104」 and 「KF-6106」, and 「KF-6105」 and 「KF-6115」?

Product Category Silicone EmulsifiersPolyglycerin Modified Silicones

「KF-6104」 and 「KF-6105」 were developed as emulsifiers for W/O formulations, while 「KF-6106」 and 「KF-6115」 were developed as dispersants for dispersing pigments and fine particulate powders in oil-based formulations. Compared to polyether-modified silicones, polyglycerin-modified silicones exhibit superior dispersion effects for powders due to the polyglycerin groups’ enhanced affinity for powder adsorption.
