A silicone emulsion is a dispersion of silicone-based materials in water. It consists of tiny droplets of silicone oil dispersed in an aqueous solution, typically stabilized by emulsifying agents or surfactants. The resulting product is a stable, milky liquid that can be applied in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.
Silicone emulsions can be made from a variety of different silicone compounds, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which is one of the most common forms of silicone. The key to their functionality is the combination of the hydrophobic nature of silicone and the water-based environment of the emulsion, allowing for easier handling, application, and versatility in formulations.
