What is the effect of ionicity on the stability of silicone oil?

Since the types of silicone oils or softeners are cationic, non-ionic, and anionic. Compared with the softening effect of each variety, cationic type is generally dominant. Therefore, many silicone oils used in the factory are cationic, and some whitening agents or Other auxiliaries are anionic. When these two or more auxiliaries are used in the same bath, they will produce anion and cation charge attraction reaction, causing agglomeration and sticking to the roller.

★Solution

1. The consistency of ionicity must be considered during processing.

2. When softening and whitening are in the same bath, use non-ionic brighteners as much as possible.
