PEG-10 methyl ether dimethicone

PEG-10 methyl ether dimethicone (CAS 68938-54-5), commercially known as Tego Wet 270, is a silicone-based polyether surfactant that bridges the performance gap between silicone and aqueous systems. It functions as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and surface modifier across personal care, cleaning, and industrial coating applications. In rinse-off and leave-on cosmetic formulations, it enables stable silicone-in-water emulsions.

This material contributes a smooth, conditioning skin feel without heavy residue. In textile and fiber processing, it improves substrate wetting and ensures uniform distribution of treatment liquids across hydrophobic surfaces. Industrial and household cleaning formulations use it to reduce surface tension and enhance spreading on hard-to-wet substrates. In waterborne coatings and adhesive systems, it acts as a substrate wetting agent.

The product helps in reducing cratering and improving film formation on low-energy surfaces. PEG-10 methyl ether dimethicone is supplied as a liquid, typically in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification for personal care applications, as well as technical-grade for industrial end uses. Buyers should confirm active content and viscosity specifications directly with the supplier.

These specifications can vary between manufacturers. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality and reliable delivery for large-scale manufacturing needs across various global industrial sectors.
