PEG-10 methyl ether dimethicone

PEG-10 methyl ether dimethicone (CAS 68938-54-5), also marketed as Tego Wet 270, is a silicone-based polyether surfactant that bridges the performance gap between silicone and aqueous systems.

Where is PEG-10 methyl ether dimethicone used?

• Personal care: wetting agent, emulsifier and surface modifier
• Cleaning: reduces surface tension and enhances spreading on hard-to-wet substrates
• Industrial coatings: substrate wetting agent that reduces cratering and improves film formation on low-energy surfaces
• In textile and fiber processing it improves substrate wetting and uniform distribution of treatment liquids on hydrophobic surfaces.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm active content and viscosity specifications directly with the supplier, as these can vary between manufacturers.
