What is a Polish ?

Polish = a temporary coating that enhances and protects the

substrate to which it is applied

Enhances by cleaning and increasing gloss/color

Protects by depositing a barrier film that repels water and

also gives a degree of dirt repellency

• Ease of application - Lubricant

• Polish cleaning ability - increase surface wettability

• Ease of polishing - lubricant, less effort to polish

• Gloss / Shine

• Increase Colour Intensity (depth of gloss)

• Surface Protection - Durability & Detergent Resistance

• Water Repellency – Long lasting

• Streakability - reduces “streaking” of polish

• Surface Smoothness/slip - less easy for dirt to adhere

Why are silicones used in Car Care?

CHARACTERISTIC

Low surface tension

Strong Si-O & Si-C bonds

High R.I:(1.375 -1.403)

Low intermolecular forces

(high chain flexibility)

Methyl groups

Low Glass Transition

Characteristics of Silicones

BENEFIT

Spreads on most surfaces

UV, oxidative, thermal &

chemical stability

Gloss

Lubricity & high permeability,

low surface friction

Water repellency

Liquids at high molecular weight

Silicones for the Car Care industry

Volatile Silicones

- BRB CM 40, CM 50, Silicone oil 0,65 cst

Silicone Glycols

- BRB 526, 6373, 356

Ease of Application – Streak resistance

Improved Cleaning - Low surface tension, increases surface wetting.

Allows more intimate contact between the abrasives/solvents

and surface

Polishing - Lubrication properties makes this much easier

Depth of Gloss / Color

Water repellency - Forms a lower surface tension film that

promotes water beading

Slip - Gives a smooth/lower friction surface

Silicone emulsions : benefits

Silicone emulsions & oils: range

Sempure 35 & 60/6635 or 60% non-ionic emulsion of mid viscosity PDMS for general purpose polish formulations

Sempure HV 650060% non-ionic emulsion of high & low viscosity PDMS blend for premium polish formulationsOptimized balance between ease of application, spreading,gloss & durability

Sempure 199755% non-ionic emulsion of high viscosity PDMS for superior shine and long durability

Silicone oils 50, 350, 1.000, 12.500, 60.000 cStFor customers who want to emulsify by themselves and fine tune their own emulsions

Formulation of Silicone oils

Can be formulated into

Solvent in water emulsions, normally use 50-1000 cSt PDMS

Water in solvent - can include high visc fluids

Polish formulations - use a combination of high/medium

viscosity fluids to optimize benefits

Aminofunctional Fluids for

durability• Polar amine groups effectively anchors the product to substrate

-> physical attraction to negatively charged surfaces

• Reactive grades crosslink to form a polymer film with high

detergent resistance and effective protection,

The amino functionality ensures a firm anchoring of the polish to the paintwork
