Silicone Emulsion Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Dimethicone Emulsion
- PDMS Emulsion
Silicone emulsion supplier for textile finishing, release, polish and construction formulators in Malaysia. It is a silicone fluid dispersed in water with an emulsifier system, supplied at a stated solids content rather than as a single defined compound. Buyers also call it a dimethicone emulsion or a PDMS emulsion; the broader phrase water-based silicone needs the emulsion form to be stated explicitly.
The emulsion is not the neat fluid. Silicone oil is a separate product, used undiluted and ordered by name, whereas an emulsion exists to be diluted into a bath, softener liquor or water-based formulation. Charge type follows from that use, which is why anionic, cationic and non-ionic grades are not interchangeable.
Grade choice runs across charge type, solids content and emulsion structure. Macro-emulsions cover general release, polish and foam-control duties, while micro-emulsions are specified where a finer particle size is wanted on fibre. Amino-functional and hydrophilic modified emulsions are the textile softening options.
Requirements often arrive quoting a supplier trade designation and grade code that this page does not list. Send the charge type, solids content, application, quantity and delivery location, and attach the data sheet where the recipe is written against a brand code. Pack format, documentation and lead time are settled at quotation stage.

Silicone Emulsion grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-ionic silicone emulsion | milky white aqueous emulsion | — | Mould release and die lubrication in rubber and plastics processing, and dilution into water-based release baths where a non-ionic emulsion suits the rest of the bath chemistry. | Drum or IBC, confirmed with the quotation. |
| Cationic silicone emulsion | milky white aqueous emulsion | — | Textile finishing lines that specify a cationic emulsion for exhaust application onto fibre and yarn. | Drum or IBC, confirmed with the quotation. |
| Anionic silicone emulsion | milky white aqueous emulsion | — | Polish, car-care, paper and film release formulation, and foam-control bases built on an anionic system. | Drum or pail, confirmed with the quotation. |
| Amino-functional or hydrophilic modified silicone emulsion | milky white to off-white aqueous emulsion | — | Textile softening recipes written for a modified silicone rather than a straight fluid emulsion, where the modification is named in the recipe. | Drum or IBC, confirmed with the quotation. |
| Silicone micro-emulsion | translucent to near-clear aqueous emulsion | — | Fibre, yarn and fabric finishing that calls for a small particle size and good bath stability rather than a conventional macro-emulsion. | Drum or pail, confirmed with the quotation. |
| Solids content band, around 35 percent or 50 to 60 percent | aqueous emulsion at the requested solids band | — | Matching an existing dosing recipe or dilution ratio, where the process is set up around a fixed solids figure and a different band would change every addition rate. | Drum or IBC, confirmed with the quotation. |

Silicone Emulsion applications
Safety and handling
Store sealed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and protect from freezing, since an emulsion can separate irreversibly once frozen. Keep the pack closed to limit contamination, roll or stir before use if any settling is seen, and follow the safety information issued for the grade quoted.
Common questions about silicone emulsion
Is silicone emulsion the same as silicone oil?
No. Silicone oil is the neat fluid, used undiluted and ordered as a separate product by name, while a silicone emulsion is that fluid dispersed in water with an emulsifier system so it can be diluted into an aqueous bath or formulation. State which of the two the process needs, because the specifications and dosing are not comparable.
Can a silicone emulsion be used for foam control?
Silicone emulsions are widely used as the silicone base for foam control in water-based systems, which is why the two enquiries overlap. A finished antifoam is a formulated product with its own grade selection and is ordered separately. Say whether you want the emulsion itself or a finished foam-control product.
Which charge type should I request?
Match it to the bath or formulation. Cationic grades are the usual choice for textile exhaust application onto fibre, non-ionic grades are the more tolerant option in mixed release and process baths, and anionic grades suit polish, paper release and anionic formulation systems. Describe the system if the recipe does not state a charge.
What solids content should I ask for?
Ask for the figure your process recipe was built around, commonly in the region of 35 percent or 50 to 60 percent on the market. A higher-solids grade means a different addition rate, so switching bands changes dosing throughout the line. The figure for any grade quoted comes from its documentation rather than from this page.
Why is no CAS number listed for silicone emulsion?
Because the product is a formulated aqueous dispersion rather than a single compound, so a single CAS number would misdescribe it. The silicone fluid component and the emulsifier system are identified on the documentation for the specific grade. Tell us what your registration or audit paperwork needs.
Can you quote against a trade name and grade code?
Yes, send the designation together with the technical data sheet. Silicone emulsions are mostly specified by supplier brand and grade code, so a requirement often arrives naming a product this page does not list. The data sheet gives the charge type, solids and modification needed to match a generic equivalent.
