Description
This product is a mixture of high molecular
weight silicone elastomer in cyclomethicone. Since a clear to slightly
translucent gel, it could be dispersed in oil phase. The product
may be formulated into w/o emulsions, water-in-silicone oil, and o/w emulsions
and anhydrous products to provide dry smoothness and a light silky skin,
non-greasy feel.
Technical index
Appearance: Colorless to yellowish,
transparent to translucent gel
Penetration degree (1/10mm): 300-450
Viscosity(cP): 200,000~500,000
Non-volatile content (%, w/w): ≥14
Applications
This product can be used in skin care, hair
care, and other potential formulations, such as sun care, color cosmetics, and
styling aid, etc.
How to use?
This product could be dispersed into the
oil-phase using simple mixing.
It can be added to the oil phase or
silicone phase in an emulsion formulation.
It can be post-added to emulsions provided
the emulsion is viscous enough for the products to be dispersed.
For ease of use, blending with dimethicone
or cyclomethicone may reduce its viscosity.
When heat is used, the material should be
processed in an enclosed vessel to prevent the cylcopentasiloxane from
volatilizing.
The recommended processing temperature is
not over 60℃.
This product would become very thick or
even lumpy after a period of time. This is normal and it will recovery to
original state after slightly agitate. The suggested usage level is 1%-20%.
Package
This product is supplied in 18kg plastic
pails or 200kg iron drums. Samples are available upon request in bottles.
