Household chemistry cosmetics

Silicone polyethers are important nonionic surfactants that are also used in cosmetics and household chemistry. However, their most important application is the manufacture of polyurethane foams, both rigid and flexible ones. There are no substitutes for them and their role eonsists in the facilitation of mixing of foam components. They prevent from the formation of large bubbles, facilitate the control of fluidity of liquid mixture (that expands due to the bubble growth), and they enable accurate control of time and degree of foam opening. 

Because chemistry is such a broad field, it is difficult to give a concise job description of a chemist. In general, chemists study the composition, structure, and characteristics of matter in an attempt to improve substances and products discover new substances and products and improve and develop chemical processes. Chemists work in a multitude of industries including agriculture, medicine, pharmaceuticals, textiles, petrochemicals, mining, plastics, hazardous materials, electronics, adhesives, paints, household products, and cosmetics. 

Formulation chemistry is the branch of manufacturing that addresses substances that do not react with each other, but have desirable properties as a mixture. These products include paints, varnishes, cosmetics, petroleum products, inks, adhesives, detergents, pesticides, and a broad range of household products.
