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
Why are silicones used in Car Care?
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
Characteristics of Silicones
CHARACTERISTIC
BENEFIT
Low surface tension
Spreads on most surfaces
Strong Si-O & Si-C bonds
UV, oxidative, thermal &
chemical stability
High R.I:(1.375 -1.403)
Gloss
Low intermolecular forces
(high chain flexibility)
Lubricity & high permeability,
low surface friction
Methyl groups
Water repellency
Low Glass Transition
Liquids at high molecular weight

Silicone Glycols
- BRB 526, 6373, 356
Silicone emulsions : benefits
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 & oils: range
Sempure 35 & 60/66
35 or 60% non-ionic emulsion of mid viscosity PDMS for general
purpose polish formulations
Sempure HV 6500
60% non-ionic emulsion of high & low viscosity PDMS blend for
premium polish formulations
Optimized balance between ease of application, spreading,
gloss & durability
Sempure 1997
55% non-ionic emulsion of high viscosity PDMS for superior shine
and long durability
Silicone oils 50, 350, 1.000, 12.500, 60.000 cSt
For customers who want to emulsify by themselves and fine tune
their own emulsions
Formulation of Silicone oils
Formulation properties
Oil soluble, not water soluble
Medium viscosity: easier application & emulsification
Higher viscosity: better protection & conditioning
Defoaming properties
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,
How is durability achieved
The amino functionality ensures a firm anchoring of the polish to the paintwork

BRB Silicone oil 0.65 cst
Volatile Fluids
Applications
Replace solvent as carriers in polish formulations (for “solventless” solvent
formulations)
Good spreading and easy to rub out
Cleaners-lift and remove dirt, low surface tension increases surface wettability,
provides more contact between abrasives & surface
Typical Properties / Benefits
Oil, alcohol solubility
Volatile
Non-greasy
Good spreadability/wetting
Leaves no residue
Colorless/odorless
Safe for most common surfaces
Product range
BRB CM 50 (cyclic)
BRB CM 40 (cyclic)
Silicone oil 0,65 cst (linear)
depending on required rate of evaporation
Silicone Glycols
Applications
Designed for formulating stable water in silicone emulsions or emulsions in which
volatile silicones make up the oil phase. Emulsions based on silicone glycols are less
greasy than typical water in oil products.
Typical Properties / Benefits
Foam booster / foam quality
