SM-5001 Polyether Silicone Fluid
SM-5001 is a high-performance polyether-modified silicone fluid with outstanding hydrophilic characteristics. Designed to enhance emulsification, spreading, and dispersion across water-based and oil-in-water systems, it bridges the advantages of silicone flexibility and polyether solubility. This nonionic surfactant is ideal for personal care, industrial cleaning, agrochemicals, and textile finishing applications.
