Non-volatile, water-based silicone powder emulsion offering excellent compatibility with aqueous systems.
Delivers soft, silky tactile feel and reduced surface friction without compromising breathability.
Stable under mild acidic to neutral pH conditions (pH 5.0–7.5), supporting broad formulation flexibility.
Low foaming profile suitable for high-shear processing and industrial coating applications.
Free of APEOs, formaldehyde, and parabens—designed for sustainable, regulatory-compliant formulations.
Personal care: leave-on and rinse-off lotions, creams, and hair conditioners.
Home care: fabric softeners, laundry additives, and surface conditioning agents.
Industrial coatings: waterborne wood finishes and plastic coatings requiring slip enhancement.
Textile auxiliaries: softening and anti-static treatments for synthetic and blended fabrics.
Adhesives & sealants: rheology modifier and surface energy reducer in aqueous acrylic systems.

Q1: What is the primary function of DOWSIL PF-2001 in formulations?
A: DOWSIL PF-2001 is a silicone-based powder emulsion designed to provide soft-touch feel, improved slip, and surface lubricity in waterborne coatings, inks, adhesives, and personal care emulsions. It functions as a surface-modifying additive that enhances tactile properties without significantly affecting film integrity or drying behavior.
Q2: Is DOWSIL PF-2001 compatible with common water-based systems?
A: Yes — it is formulated for compatibility with a broad range of waterborne acrylics, polyurethanes, vinyl acetate copolymers, and cellulose derivatives. Stability in the final formulation should be verified under actual processing conditions, including pH, ionic strength, and presence of other surfactants or co-additives.
Q3: How should DOWSIL PF-2001 be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the let-down stage under mild agitation to avoid excessive shear or foam generation. Pre-dilution with water or a compatible solvent may improve dispersion uniformity. Avoid high-shear mixing post-addition to preserve particle integrity and performance consistency.
Q4: Does DOWSIL PF-2001 require post-application curing or heat treatment to develop its full effect?
A: No — its functionality is realized upon film formation and water evaporation at ambient or low-temperature drying conditions. Thermal curing is not necessary, though elevated temperatures may accelerate coalescence and enhance surface migration of silicone domains.
