Overview
What BL-232 Is
BL-232 is polyether-modified silicone oil, of which the structure contains different kinds of polyether chains. This product is safe and non-toxic, and it has excellent emulsifying performance. A wide range of viscosities of PDMS and other types of modified silicone emulsions can be achieved very easily, without mixing with other emulsifiers, and the emulsions made will be very stable. This product is an ideal Si/W silicone emulsifier.

Application scenarios
Where BL-232 Is Used
- As an emulsifier, this product is mainly used in O/W silicone emulsion formulation. For example, it can emulsify Dimethicone, Phenylmethhicone, Hydroxyl silicone oil, Amido Dimethicone, Alkyl Dimethicone, etc, and achieve stable low-viscosity O/W silicone emulsions.
- Mix this product and silicone oil and stir until uniform (System A). Add a small amount of water at one time into System A and stir. It can achieve the initial emulsion like cream. Then continue to add water. At this stage, the amount of water should be adjusted according to the formulation. Add water gradually and stir at the same time. The stable silicone emulsion can be achieved.
- The recommended dosage is 2~10% (according to the total formulation amount).
