Composites are thermoset resins filled with fibers or other fillers. Composite materials have been in use for a long time. One big early success of composites, which was in the aircraft industry, was based on the value proposition of reducing the weight of metal while retaining the strength.
Today the composites industry enjoys tremendous growth rates in markets such as aeronautics, transportation, energy, construction, civil engineering, oil and gas, and medical markets. Value propositions include the original lightweighting, but today also includes chemical resistance, and improved properties.

Silsurf D208 |
Water-soluble silicone polyether. Used in personal care applications. It provides conditioning and lubricity. It can also be used in paints and inks for slip and mar resistance. |
|
|
Silsurf C208 |
This silicone polyether copolymer is very soluble in water and most solvents. Gives hair conditioning, foam stabilization and formulation stabilization in PC formula. In inks and coatings moderate slip and mar resistance, good flow and leveling and a low potential for defects. It can be used in nearly any application where surface tension reduction, surface modification or wetting are desired. |

Silsurf A004 [TOP] |
Smallest possible silicone polyether. This is a very effective low foaming wetting agent with excellent spreading capabilities. |
|
Silsurf A008-UP [TOP] |
Shortest silicone chain possible for a silicone polyether. High purity. This product is an excellent wetter. Used in textiles, agricultural, paints and coatings and any other applications where superior wetting is required. It also acts as a flow and leveling aid in paints and coatings. |
|
|
Silmer OH A0-UP |
Lowest-molecular-weight reactive silicone. It contains one reactive group on a heptamethyltrisiloxane backbone. Used as a chain terminator and polymer modifier. |
|
|
Silmer EP D208 |
Water-dispersible glycidyl-based reactive silicone epoxy pre-polymer. Often improves compatibility in non-aqueous formulations. |
|
|
Silamine D208 EDA |
This is a water-soluble aminoethylaminopropyl-based silicone, water-soluble or dispersible, depending on the silicone backbone and a number of pendant amine groups. They are used in personal care and textile applications to provide lubricity and softness. 100% active. |
|
|
Silube FF108-16 |
Water-soluble silicone alkyl polyether. It provides good lubricity and is a good oil-in-water emulsifier, especially when used in combination with Silube T308-16. |
