New for 2019!
Silsurf I108 PEG-8 Dimethicone has a high degree of polyether chains on the silicone backbone which allows this dimethicone copolyol to act as a strong O/W emulsifier and dispersant. The product minimizes complexity and costs for formulators by eliminating the need for additional co-emulsifiers or pigment dispersant additives. Silsurf I108 is water soluble and can be used in both cold and hot processes. It is effective in difficult systems like sunscreens, make ups and complex emulsion systems.
