| EM 6126 E | 12,500 | 60% | 6.0–8.0 | Heavy-duty industrial release |
| EM 6350 E | 350,000 | 60% | 6.0–8.0 | Ultra-high slip & surface protection |
| EM 6510 E | 1,000,000 | 60% | 6.0–8.0 | Maximum softness & hair care focus |
| EM 6207 E | 60,000 | 35% | 4.0–6.0 | High-gloss acidic polish base |
Industrial Application Scenarios
Mold Release Agents
Highly effective for rubber, plastics, and metal casting. Provides superior wetting and slip characteristics without complex forming.
Textile Softening
Imparts durable softening and lubrication to yarns and fabrics, improving tear strength and “hand-feel” in elastomeric finishes.
Polish & Protection
Key ingredient for automotive and furniture polishes, delivering excellent water repellency and high-intensity gloss.
Mechanical Lubrication
Reduces friction in printing and machinery operations. Stable formulation prevents complexation with ionic surfactants.

Expert Technical FAQ
What is the recommended dilution method for the EM series? To maintain emulsion stability, always add water slowly to the emulsion with gentle stirring. Dilution stability is typically optimized at 20% solids or lower depending on the specific grade.
How does pH affect selection for textile or polish applications? Standard grades (pH 6.0–8.0) are ideal for general industrial use. For formulations requiring an acidic environment, such as specific leather finishes or hair care, grades with pH 4.0–6.0 (e.g., EM 6207 E) are recommended.
Is the MESIL® EM series compatible with other surfactants? Yes. Due to their non-ionic nature, these emulsions can be integrated into non-ionic, anionic, or cationic systems without forming complexes or compromising stability.
