Gransurf 61
Gransurf 61 is a pure silicone surfactant with a HLB value of about 14, ideally suitable for use in O/W type emulsions where a silicone gel or oil is present in the oil phase. It can be used alone or with other surfactants due to its nonionic nature. Gransurf 61 is also a strong wetting agent capable of wetting any surface, improving pigment dispersing and spreadability. Mixable completely with water, Gransurf 61 can be used as a lubricant in water-based toner, cleansing, body washing and other numerous products, providing residual sheen or gloss and smooth after-feel. Highly efficient and economical,
Gransurf 61 is added at levels from 0.01% to 4%.
