Momentive is Super: Superspreading for Enhanced Home Care Product Performance
Momentive Performance Materials Inc. today introduced Silwet
Hydrostable 68 superspreader, an advanced silicone surfactant that may
help support a wide range of product performance enhancements for home
care, institutional and industrial (HII) formulators. These
formulators may use Silwet Hydrostable 68 superspreader to enhance the
performance of products such as dish soap, disinfectants, dishwasher
detergent, window cleaners, automatic car washes, car waxes and other
products for automotive surfaces.
Silwet Hydrostable 68 superspreader is an organomodified silicone
that offers surface tension reduction and superspreading properties,
while remaining stable in formulations ranging from pH 6 to 8, a
25-fold expansion over the range offered by conventional surfactants.
By providing immediate spread coverage more than 100 times greater
than the corresponding volume of water and 25 times greater than
solutions containing conventional surfactants, Silwet Hydrostable 68
superspreader significantly improves the penetration of a product's
active ingredients into cracks and crevices.
"With Silwet Hydrostable 68 superspreader, we're giving home care
formulators an innovative alternative to conventional surfactants,"
said Robert Ruckle, global marketing manager, Momentive Performance
Materials. "Whether it is providing better drying and spot-free
properties for dishwashing formulas or enabling much greater
penetration of disinfectants, Silwet Hydrostable 68 superspreader can
give home care formulators a performance edge in the marketplace."
Silwet Hydro stable 68 superspreader is the first in a series of
Momentive Performance Materials superspreader product introductions
for HII formulators.
