Fabric Softeners and Laundry Additives


Softness


We know softness is a key consumer benefit. To help you evaluate our materials, Dow Corning has done panel testing on towel swatches. Results from paired comparison testing between a reference treatment based on 16% active triethanolamine-based diesterquat softener and the same treatment with the addition of the silicone additive. The following products improved softness in the testing.

  • Dow Corning® Q2-1607 Emulsion - Cationic emulsion, active at low addition levels, 0.8 to 1.5% as active silicone.
  • Dow Corning® 2-8203 Emulsion - Non-ionic microemulsion of an organofunctional siloxane blend; provides high (>60%) silicone deposition onto fabrics.
  • Dow Corning® 2-8663 Emulsion - A cationic microemulsion with a reactive amino-functional polydimethylsiloxane internal phase; provides high (>60%) silicone deposition onto fabrics.
