It was not until the 1980s that silicone surfactants achieved large-scale and comprehensive rapid development. This type of surfactant has many unique advantages, such as low surface tension, good wetting and spreading properties, strong thermal stability, great emulsification, good compatibility, and foaming, foam stabilizing and foam suppressing effects, and It is non-toxic and has no side effects. It has been widely used in various industries and has also become a widely used additive in cosmetics.
