Methyl MQ silicone resin emulsion has shown significant environmental protection and safety advantages in the mold release industry, which is specifically reflected in the following aspects：


1. Water-based system: replace organic solvents and reduce VOC emissions
Low volatile organic compounds (VOC)
Methyl MQ silicone resin emulsion uses water as the dispersion medium, avoiding the use of organic solvents such as toluene and xylene in traditional mold release agents.For example, a certain water-based emulsion product (such as SH3122) has a solid content of 60% and can be used only by dilution with water. The VOC content is close to zero, which significantly reduces air pollution and occupational health risks in the production process.
Non-toxic and harmless formula
The emulsion does not contain toxic substances such as heavy metals and aromatic hydrocarbons, and complies with international environmental protection standards such as ROHS and REACH.In the field of direct contact with the human body such as cosmetics and daily chemicals (such as lipstick), its safety has been widely verified.
2. Environmental protection in production and use
Clean production process
The preparation of water-based emulsions usually adopts sol-gel method or emulsion polymerization technology. There is no need for high temperature and high pressure in the process, low energy consumption and less waste generation.For example, a patented technology stabilizes the solid content of the emulsion at 18%-20% by controlling the reaction conditions, while avoiding the generation of by-products.
Energy saving and emission reduction effect
In mold release applications, the emulsion can be constructed by spraying, impregnation and other low-energy methods, and the drying speed is fast (a few minutes to several hours at room temperature), reducing energy consumption.Compared with traditional solvent-based mold release agents, its comprehensive energy consumption can be reduced by more than 30%.
3. Waste treatment and recycling
Degradability
The polyether silicone oil, nonionic emulsifiers and other components in methyl MQ silicone resin emulsion can be decomposed by microorganisms, and the waste treatment cost is low.Experiments have shown that its degradation rate in the natural environment within 6 months can reach more than 80%.
Wastewater treatment compatibility
Emulsion wastewater can be purified by conventional biochemical treatment processes (such as activated sludge method), and the COD (chemical oxygen demand) removal rate exceeds 90%, making it difficult to discharge up to standard.
4. Safety performance: reduce fire and health risks
Non-flammable
The water-based emulsion does not contain combustible solvents, and the flash point is higher than 100℃. There is no need to manage dangerous goods during storage and transportation, which greatly reduces the risk of fire.
Low irritation
The pH value of the emulsion is close to neutral (6-8), non-irritating to the skin and mucous membranes, and operators do not need to wear gas masks or protective clothing, which can improve work efficiency and reduce labor protection costs.
5. Typical application cases: the balance between environmental protection and performance
 
Leather chemical industry
When the emulsion is used as a softener, it can replace traditional additives containing phthalates to avoid the risk of migration of harmful substances in leather products.The application data of an enterprise shows that after using water-based emulsions, the probability of leather products passing the EU EN 71-3 toy safety standard test is increased by 90%.
