Q1: What is the primary function of MEM-1491 in industrial formulations?
A: MEM-1491 is a stable anionic silicone emulsion designed to provide surface modification, lubricity, and anti-foaming performance in water-based systems—commonly used in textile auxiliaries, agrochemical adjuvants, and coatings where silicone functionality is needed without solvent use.
Q2: Is MEM-1491 compatible with cationic or high-salt formulations?
A: Due to its anionic nature, MEM-1491 may experience reduced stability or phase separation when directly mixed with strongly cationic agents or high concentrations of multivalent salts. Compatibility should be verified through small-scale testing under intended formulation conditions.
Q3: How should MEM-1491 be incorporated into a formulation to ensure optimal performance?
A: It is recommended to add MEM-1491 during the final stage of aqueous formulation, after pH adjustment and addition of major components. Gentle agitation is sufficient—avoid high-shear mixing that could destabilize the emulsion. Dosage typically depends on application requirements but generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the total formulation.
Q4: Does MEM-1491 require special storage conditions?
A: Yes—store in original sealed containers at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C, away from freezing and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Avoid contamination and ensure lids are tightly closed after each use to maintain emulsion integrity and shelf life.
