About Amino Silicone Oil AD-140
Alsil AD140 is a second-generation special amino fluid designed to give excellent softness with smoothness. Alsil AD140 is hydrophobic amino silicone oil to give softness along with sufficient smoothness. It has cationic nature that enhances its ability of exhaustion on the substrate. These fluids are easily emulsified with standard emulsifiers. Unlike most Amino Silicone fluids which are hydrophobic in nature.
