H-Sil® EM-HTS Concentrate is a nonionic emulsion of hydroxy functional silicone fluid designed to provide superior performance in a variety of applications, including:

• Tire and vinyl dressings
• Polishes and waxes for hard surfaces
• As a performance booster to standard silicone emulsions
• As a durable release agent

H-Sil® SC C20-23 is a high-molecular-weight, nonionic silicone surfactant that has multifunctional properties in a wide range of applications. In hard surface cleaners, this product imparts low surface tensions and improved oily soil emulsification. This product is a water-soluble substantive additive to automobile surface cleaning formulas, and it imparts gloss and surface break for improved drying. It is an effective water-soluble mold-release agent that will allow easy rinsing for paintable mold-release products. This product is non-toxic and has a very low irritation profile for the skin and eyes. Prototype formulas and use recommendations are available from your Harcros representative.

H-Sil® EM-FS-50 is a fluorosilicone-in-water emulsion that uses nonionic emulsifiers. This unique emulsion is specially formulated for hard surface polishes. The fluoro portion of the molecule adds protection from greasy and waterborne soils, and the silicone portion provides gloss and additional protection from outdoor elements. It is an excellent product for formulating spray-on and wipe-off transportation polishes and protectants.

Berryman Chemical Glycol Ether DB is a highly effective, high boiling, and slow-evaporating solvent and coupling agent, ideal for use in cleaning solutions and industrial cleaners due to its unique ability to dissolve a wide range of soils and lower the surface tension of cleaning formulations.

Berryman Chemical Ethyl Acetate is a versatile and effective low-boiling, fast-evaporating solvent with a mild, pleasant odor, widely used in formulating printing inks, adhesives, and lacquers, offering benefits such as excellent activity for most coating resins, compatibility with organic solvents, and efficiency in cleaner blends for the removal of oils, grease, and soils.

H-Sil® D4 is a volatile cyclic dimethyl silicone fluid that is clear and odorless. This low-toxicity solvent evaporates completely at room temperature and leaves no residue. It is widely used in cosmetics to provide spreading, easy rub-out, and a slick, non-greasy feel to the skin. It is a good cleaning solvent for industrial applications with degreasing properties for dry cleaning and spot treatment applications.

H-Sil® 1108 is a low-molecular-weight, nonionic silicone polyether surfactant blend that imparts low surface tensions to formulated products. This product improves the spreading and wetting properties of household, industrial, and coating products. In spray adjuvant applications, it gives aqueous surface tensions of less than 23 mN/M.

H-Sil® SC-C8 is a high-molecular-weight silicone polyether that imparts low surface tension to formulated products. It helps promote wetting and surface activity and is an effective additive to both cosmetic formulations and household products. This product is stable in most formulations when used up to 5% and is an excellent co-surfactant for use in hair-care shampoos and conditioners. In skin care products, it is an effective emollient and humectant.

H-Sil® OE is a silicone-based odor eliminator designed for industrial and consumer applications. This product acts as an odor eliminator by neutralizing the nitrogen groups that are present in most odors. It is a concentrate that can be diluted at 5 - 10% by weight in water for most applications. No other additives are needed. Fragrances can be added to the dilution by using common surfactants and fragrance bases. 5% dilutions of H-Sil® OE were successfully compared against leading industrial and consumer products via a test panel, and it consistently outlasted the competitors. At a use level of 5 - 10%, this product was successfully tested against the following odors:

• Smoke
• Butyric acid (body odor)
• Amine odors
• Urine
• Ammonia

H-Sil® EM-60 HG is a proprietary blend of silicone fluids and reactive organo-silicones emulsified into a high-solids emulsion. It is designed to provide premium performance as a tire and vinyl dressing. This product is easily diluted with water to form a stable dispersion for use levels ranging from 10 to 20% actives. A 20% active product gives excellent all-round performance by delivering a high-gloss, durable (several washings) coating to tires and vinyl.

H-Sil® EM 1060 is a 60% active, nonionic emulsion of 10,000 cSt polydimethylsiloxane. This product can be used as-is or diluted with water to form a stable emulsion letdown. It is effective as a release agent for rubber, plastic, and shell metals in foundry applications. This product has additional applications in leather care, textiles, surface lubrication, surface protection, and gloss improvement.

H-Sil® EM-60 Concentrate is a 60% active nonionic emulsion of regular viscosity silicone. This product can be used as-is or diluted with water to form a stable emulsion letdown. It is formulated to provide excellent gloss, lubrication, and protection to a variety of surfaces. This product is an excellent ingredient for formulators to use in automotive tire and vinyl dressings, including polishes and waxes for automobiles and other hard surfaces.

H-Sil® SQ is a proprietary cationic polymer made from natural oils and reactive silanes. This product is an excellent repellant for water- and oil-based soils and stains. Its applications include window cleaners, hard surface protectants, wood, stone, masonry, and almost any other hard or porous surface. This product is an excellent final rinse polymer for automatic car washes. It is highly hydrophobic, repels water (it beads up), and has a glossy, slick finish. Prototype formulas are available.

H-Sil® STS is a low-molecular-weight, nonionic silicone surfactant that imparts low surface tension to formulated household and agricultural products. It improves the wetting and detergency of neutral household cleaning detergents and degreasers on hard surfaces. This product will improve the wetting, spreading, and penetration of agricultural chemicals and is an additive for use in pesticide products or as a tank-mix adjuvant. It can achieve surface tensions of 22 m/M with rates as low as 0.01% in aqueous-based agriculture and coating formulas, thus improving spreading across a variety of surfaces. This product is exempt from tolerance under 40 CFR 180.1001(c) for agricultural uses.

H-Sil® D5 is a volatile cyclic dimethyl silicone fluid that is clear and odorless. This low-toxicity solvent evaporates completely at room temperature and leaves no residue. It is widely used in cosmetics to provide spreading, easy rub-out, and a slick, non-greasy feel to the skin. It is a good cleaning solvent for industrial applications with degreasing properties for dry cleaning and spot treatment applications.
