MASIL® SF linear fluids are designated with their viscosity, ranging from MASIL® SF 0.65 to MASIL® stability and are chemically non reactive. They have low viscosity/temperature coefficient ratios giving low pour points, possess excellent stability to mechanical shear stress, and are non-corrosive and non-toxic. Because of their low surface tensions, they quickly spread and provide high surface activity to formulated products. MASIL® SF fluids are INCI designated as Dimethicone and meet the demands of thousands of Personal Care and industrial uses.
Masil® SF silicone fluids carry the INCI designation of Dimethicone and can be used in a variety of personal care products where they are valued for their elegant lubricious feel. Masil® SF silicone fluids can also be used in a wide range of industrial applications as heat transfer and hydraulic fluids, defoamers, lubricants and release aids. Products with viscosities to 5000 cSt are used as fiber and thread lubricants, mechanical lubricants, mold release agents and calender lubricants. They are also used in anti blocking treatments in paper manufacturing, textile finishes to impart softness and lubricity, automobile and furniture polishes, dielectric and damping media, fluid drives, calibration baths and sonar transducers. The higher viscosity products can be used as release agents for plastic and rubber parts, antifoams for aqueous and nonaqueous processes and lubricants in tablet manufacturing.

The MASIL® EM series of products is a diverse family of solvent-free silicone emulsions that are useful in numerous applications. MASIL® EM silicone emulsions are an economical, easy and convenient way to use silicones in aqueous systems, even when high dilution stability is required. They are easily diluted by adding water to the emulsion with mild agitation. MASIL® EM silicone emulsions are highly effective when used at very low concentrations. They are also chemically inert and do not cause discoloration during the manufacturing process.
The principal applications for MASIL® EM silicone emulsions include general-purpose release aids in molding, extrusion, laminating and casting of a variety of materials such as rubber, plastics and metals. The use of MASIL® EM products allows deeper, more complex designs with sharper details. The molded products have cleaner surfaces with no discoloration, and there are fewer rejects.
Other applications for MASIL® EM silicone emulsions include polish formulations, textile softeners and fiber lubricants, foundry releases, aerosol sprays, printing release agents, and leather, glass and vinyl cleaners.

MASIL® 1066C is a polymeric nonionic silicone surfactant with a comb or rake structure consisting of a polydimethylsiloxane backbone with graft or pendant polyoxyalkylene hydrophiles. This structure provides low surface tensions attainable with the dimethyl siloxane hydrophobe and low critical solution behaviors of nonionic surfactants.
General properties associated with silicone surfactants include: reduction of surface tension in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems, effective lubricant for plastic-to-plastic plastic-to-metal applications, flow and leveling agents in coatings systems, dispersion aids, emulsifiers (used alone or in combination with organic surfactants), wetting agents, anti-static agents, controlled solubility, high thermal stability and a low order of toxicity.
The relatively high molecular weight of this molecule makes it an effective emulsion stabilizer. It is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and bears an INCI name PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone.

MASIL® GC 6000 is a blend containing approximately 15 wt.% of an ultra high viscosity hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane in cyclopentasiloxane. MASIL® GC 6000 has the INCI name Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethiconol.
Features/Benefits
MASIL® GC 6000 is useful in a wide range of cosmetic and toiletry applications and is readily compatible with other formulation components. MASIL® GC 6000 provides a luxurious feel, with rapid spreading and uniform delivery of ultrahigh viscosity hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane which imparts long lasting film forming and lubricity benefits.
MASIL® GC 6000 provides a soft velvety skin feel when formulated into color cosmetics, shower gels, deodorants/ antiperspirants, and other skin care formulations.
MASIL® GC 6000 provides long lasting resistance to wash off, and is useful in sun care products.
MASIL® GC 6000 provides hair conditioning benefits including split end conditioning from shampoos, conditioners, gels, mousses and other hair care products.

Masil® SFR fluids are clear, water-white and odorless silanol terminated reactive polydimethyl siloxane fluids with terminal hydroxyl groups. The appropriate viscosity of the fluid is designated in the product name. Masil® SFR fluids are distinguished by their ultra purity, being free of catalytic residue or suspended salts, and very low in water and other volatile contaminants.
Masil® SFR fluids react through condensation of their terminal silanol groups. These products can be cured with small amounts of multifunctional silanes. The reaction is aided by the use of organometallic salts of zinc, iron and tin. Masil® SFR fluids are useful formulation components in silicone elastomers and room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) systems and in textile and paper coatings. They also prove useful for hydrophobing silica and other fillers.
Masil® SFR 70 and Masil® SFR 100 have been used as plasticizers for silicone elastomers, as processing aids for silicone elastomeric compounds and as the base polymer system for silicone water repellents. Medium viscosity Masil® SFR silicone fluids have been found effective in textile and paper coatings. They impart water repelling properties and paper softness to natural textiles such as cotton fabrics. Papers can be made water repellent by curing a coating of Masil® SFR 70 with other functional silicones such as Masil® SF-MH.
Higher viscosity Masil® SFR silicone fluids are recommended for formulating silicone RTV systems that incorporate reinforcing and extending fillers. Masil® SFR fluids are used in silicone adhesives, specialty coatings and sealants and elastomer systems, and as components of medical and dental products.

MASIL® methyl hydrogen siloxane fluids are clear, water-white liquids characterized by a hydrogen group on one or more silicon atoms per molecule. MASIL® methyl hydrogen siloxane fluids readily undergo condensation reactions with silanol groups and with hydroxyl groups. These fluids are used as waterproofing and impregnating agents for textiles, paper and leather; hydrophobing agents for powders, silicas and other fillers.
MASIL® methyl hydrogen siloxane fluids also undergo addition reactions with unsaturated organic compounds in the presence of noble metal catalysts. They are used as components in RTV silicone rubbers, thermal cure silicone rubbers, and in the modification of polyester and methacrylic resins. MASIL® methyl hydrogen siloxane fluids crosslink vinyl-functional silicone polymers such as MASIL® SF 201 and MASIL® SF 202.
MASIL® SF MH-2 is a moderate molecular weight methyl hydrogen siloxane homopolymer that is trimethylsilyl capped. MASIL® XL-1 Crosslinker is a trimethylsilyl capped methyl hydrogen, dimethyl siloxane copolymer, often used as a crosslinker in silicone elastomers where a softer material is desired. MASIL® SF 305 bears terminal SiH groups and is often used as a chain extender through reaction with vinyl terminated siloxanes. MASIL® methyl hydrogen siloxane fluids are soluble in most dimethyl polysiloxane polymers or fluids and will mix readily with gentle agitation.
