Silico®-OH5012 Anionic Hydroxy Silicone Emulsion
Silico® OH5012 is a high-purity anionic silicone emulsion that offers excellent softness, smoothness, and film-forming properties. It is compatible with hydrogenated silicones and can be copolymerized with acrylics and polyurethanes. It is easy to disperse in water and is ideal for textiles, sewing threads, synthetic hair, leather, rubber, and plastics, providing water resistance and improved strength. Store in a cool, dry place away from strong acids or bases.
Key Features:
Silico® OH5012 is a high-purity anionic silicone emulsion synthesized from octamethylcyclotrisiloxane and anionic surfactants. It offers exceptional performance for a wide range of applications:
Softness: Provides excellent softness to fibers, fabrics, or products.
Smooth Surface: Ensures a smooth and pleasant feel.
Film-forming: Offers light film-forming properties.
Compatibility and Reactivity: The hydroxyl groups at both ends of the molecule react with hydrogenated silicone emulsions and can copolymerize with acrylics, polyurethanes, and other materials for specific purposes.
Water Dispersibility: Easily dispersible in water, making it easy to use without pollution.

Key Features
Textiles: Softens and enhances elasticity, abrasion resistance, and wash durability for cotton, linen, silk, wool, and synthetic fibers.
Sewing Threads: Improves strength, flexibility, and sewing speed, particularly for high-speed sewing threads.
Synthetic Hair: Provides softness, gloss, and smoothness, improving combing effects.
Leather: Acts as a protective agent for leather, preventing stickiness and maintaining surface quality.
Rubber and Plastics: Works as a release agent.
Furniture and Floor Care: Lubricates and maintains floorboards, furniture, and sofas.
Other Uses: Additional applications are in development.
Applications
Post-finishing of cotton, linen, silk, wool, and synthetic fibers for enhanced softness, smooth touch, elasticity, abrasion and wash resistance, thermal and water resistance
Treatment of sewing threads, especially high-speed threads, for improved smoothness, tensile strength, and break resistance
Used for wigs and similar products to enhance softness, luster, and combing performance
Functions as a release and anti-stick agent on leather surfaces
Mold release agent for rubber and plastic products
Lubricant and maintenance coating for floors, furniture, and sofas
Additional applications under development
Usage Instructions
- Dilute to 1-10% concentration in water or aqueous systems based on specific needs.
Precautions
This is an anionic system; ensure compatibility, especially with cationic systems, to avoid emulsification issues.
It may cause irritation; rinse immediately with water if it gets into the eyes.
Packaging & Storage
Packaging: Available in 50 kg or 200 kg plastic drums.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from strong acids or alkalis. Avoid temperatures below 5°C (to prevent freezing) and above 40°C. Shelf life is 12 months from the production date, if unopened.
