Polishes and Cleaners

Silicone oils and emulsions can be incorporated into car trim and dashboard polishes, wood and plastic furniture polishes, metal polishes and shoe and leather care products where a high gloss is required. The good spreading ability and lubrication eases polishing and improves subsequent scratch resistance aswell as enhancing the gloss and depth of colour. Water repellency is improved by the hydrophobic effect of silicone oil. Silicone emulsions can be utilised in cleaning and rinsing formulations e.g. car wash / wax formulations since the emulsion has cleaning properties whilst the residual silicone produces a "beading" wax effect. (Current products: Silicone Emulsion 642-60, Silicone Emulsion 642 - 35, Waxil 30 & Waxil 60).
