Raw Materials
Silicone supply for cleaning, detailing and surface protection formulations.
Hawthorne supplies silicone fluids, emulsions and functional silicone additives to manufacturers, brands and formulators in automotive, home care and industrial markets.
Performance materials for gloss, protection and water repellency.
Silicones improve gloss, slip, lubrication, water beading, durability and surface feel across a wide range of formulations.
Hawthorne can help source silicones for tyre dressings, interior protectants, polishes and industrial coatings.
Gloss
Improve depth, shine and visual appearance.
Protect
Create durable water-repellent surface films.
Lubricate
Enhance slip and application performance.
What are silicones?
Silicones are polymers used to boost surface performance, durability, lubrication and water repellency. Viscosity and emulsion type are chosen to suit the finish and application.
Technical Consideration
Not all silicones behave the same.
Performance hinges on viscosity, emulsion type, active content, particle size, compatibility and the finished formulation.
