Silico® | FE Series Polyether-Modified Fluorosilicone Fluids
Silico® FE series are non-ionic, polyether-modified fluorosilicones with excellent chemical resistance, low surface energy, and surfactant properties. Ideal as wetting agents and surface modifiers in coatings, personal care, and industrial applications.
Product Introduction
Silico® FE series are non-ionic, polyether-modified fluorosilicone fluids that combine the unique benefits of fluorosilicones—such as exceptional chemical resistance, low surface energy, and wide thermal stability—with the surfactant properties of polyethers. These specialty copolymers exhibit excellent compatibility with organic and aqueous systems, making them ideal for applications where improved spreadability, wetting, lubricity, and low surface tension are required.
Thanks to their tailored structure, Silico® FE fluids act as highly efficient wetting agents, leveling additives, and surface modifiers in coatings, personal care, and industrial formulations. They are especially suited for applications requiring performance in harsh chemical or solvent-rich environments.
Silico® FE series are available with varying polyether content (PEG, PPG or PEG/PPG types), molecular weights, and fluorosilicone ratios to meet a wide range of formulation needs.
