Usage Dispersants
Features and Applications Silicone AcrylateSilicone Surfactant

A graft copolymer consisting of acrylic polymer and dimethylpolysiloxane. (Acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate/dimethicone methacrylate) copolymer has the characteristics of both acrylic resin and silicone. It has excellent adsorbability to pigment surfaces and can be used as an excellent dispersant for pigments in silicone.

Dispersibility of Superfine Titanium Dioxide

The graph shows the viscosities of some dispersions of superfine titanium
dioxide-in-silicone fluid, prepared using various emulsifiers and mixed in a bead mill.
The dispersions prepared with KF-6106 and KP-578 had viscosities that were low initially and remained low over time; the powders were well-dispersed and the preparations proved to be highly stable.
KF-6115 is also able to prepare low viscosity, well-dispersed and stable dispersion;
suitable for the formulations containing various oils, especially silicone fluids,
hydrocarbon oils and UV absorvers.

Likewise, when superfine titanium dioxide/silicone fluid pastes were prepared with a roll mill, those made using KF-6106 and KP-578 had much lower viscosities than those made without a dispersant. KF-6106 and KP-578 make it easier to compound powders into cosmetic products.
KF-6115 shows equally good dispersing performance with KF-6106 in silicone fluid, and superior performance in dispersion medium containing oils other than silicone fluids.
