In the context of the continuous advancement of the personal care products industry towards formula simplification and efficacy diversification, a single additive that possesses multiple functions such as emulsification, foaming, plasticization, and moisturization can often provide formulae with greater design freedom and better cost-effectiveness. The product we have launched, Polyether Alkyl Copolymer Silicone Oil 9109, with the INCI name of Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Polydimethylsiloxane, as a copolymer of polyether alkyl copolymers, demonstrates significant application value in numerous personal care products such as spray gels, shampoo, skin lotions, and shaving creams, offering efficient and multi-functional raw material options for the industry.


I. Core Physical and Chemical Properties


Product Polyether Alkyl Copolymer Silicone Oil 9109 is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid. At 25 degrees Celsius, its density ranges from 0.915 to 0.945, and its viscosity is from 500 to 1,400 centistokes. This product is a copolymer of polyether alkyl siloxanes, with both polyether hydrophilic groups and long-chain alkyl hydrophobic groups introduced into the molecular chain, possessing surface activity, emulsifying ability, and resin plasticizing properties. It is particularly important to note that when stored at low temperatures, the product will become cloudy and solidify into a soft waxy state, which is a normal characteristic of organic siloxane ethylene glycol copolymers. Heating can restore it to a liquid state, and repeated solidification and dissolution will not affect the product quality.


II. Core Performance Advantages


Product Polyether Alkyl Copolymer Silicone Oil 9109, with its unique copolymer structure, exhibits the following core performance advantages in personal care product formulations:


Emulsifier and surface tension inhibitor. The product has excellent emulsifying performance and can effectively reduce the surface tension of the system with a small dosage, helping to stabilize the oil-water interface, suitable for various emulsified systems in personal care products.


Foaming agent and dense foam formation. The product has good foaming performance and can form stable and dense foam structures, particularly suitable for foaming products such as shampoo, body wash, and shaving cream.


Resin plasticizer and wetting agent for hair styling products. The product can give the film-forming resin in hair styling products good flexibility and wetting effect, making the hair feel soft and smooth, avoiding stiffness and cracking.


Moisturizer and wetting agent for skin care products. The product has good compatibility with various cosmetic ingredients and can be used as a moisturizing and wetting component in skin care formulations, improving the skin feel and moisturizing effect of the formulation.


III. Wide Application Areas


Product Polyether Alkyl Copolymer Silicone Oil 9109, with its multi-functional performance combination, can play a key role in the following personal care product application areas:


1. Spray gels and non-wash hair care products. Product Polyether Alkyl Copolymer Silicone Oil 9109 can be used as a resin plasticizer and wetting agent in spray gels and other non-wash hair care products, effectively improving the flexibility of the setting resin, allowing the hair to remain naturally soft after setting, and giving a glossy and smooth touch.


2. Shampoo and conditioner. In shampoo and conditioner formulations, it can be used as a foaming agent and conditioning agent, helping to form rich and dense foam, enhancing the cleansing experience, and giving a soft and smooth conditioning effect to the hair.


3. Skin care lotions and moisturizing products. In skin care lotions, creams, and body lotions, it can be used as a moisturizer and wetting agent, helping to improve the spreadability and skin feel of the formulation, and enhancing the softness of the skin.


4. Shaving cream and shaving foam. In shaving cream formulations, it can perform both foaming and wetting functions, forming fine and stable foam, helping to soften the beard and reducing friction and irritation during shaving.


5. Home care and personal care products. The product is also applicable to household cleaning products such as laundry detergents and fabric softeners, helping to enhance the wetting performance and cleaning effect of the products.


IV. Usage Suggestions and Recommended Dosage


The specific addition amount of product polyether alkyl co-modified silicone oil 9109 needs to be determined through experiments based on the formulation system and target performance. The product solidifies at low temperatures as a normal phenomenon. After heating and melting, it can be used normally. Repeated heating and melting will not affect the product quality.


V. Packaging Specifications and Storage Conditions


Product polyether alkyl co-modified silicone oil 9109 is packaged in twenty-kilogram and two-hundred-kilogram plastic drums. After sealing, the product should be stored in a dry and cool place. The shelf life is two years.


VI. Quality Assurance and Industry Application Value


Product polyether alkyl co-modified silicone oil 9109 has established a strict quality control system during production. Key indicators such as appearance, density, and viscosity are tested throughout the process to ensure consistency and reliability between batches.


As the personal care product industry continues to upgrade towards formula simplification and efficacy diversification, there is an increasing demand for high-quality cosmetic raw materials with multiple functions. Product polyether alkyl co-modified silicone oil 9109, with its co-modified silicone oxide structure advantage, integrates multiple functions such as emulsification, foaming, plasticizing, and moisturizing. It is widely applicable to the development of products such as spray gels, shampoo, skin care lotions, and shaving creams, providing flexible and efficient raw material options for formula design, which helps promote the personal care product industry towards higher quality and refinement.
