Description
IOTA 9600D Silicone Elastomer Gel is a blend of
cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone/vinyldimethiconecrosspolymer, it is a
translucent gel. This product could be dispersed in oil phase. It

and anhydrous products to provide dry smoothness and a light silky skin,
non-greasy feel.
Technical index
Appearance: Colorless or pale yellow translucence gel
Penetration degree (1/10mm): 300-450
Non-volatile content (%, w/w): 12.00-12.75
Application
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 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℃.
The suggested usage level is 1-20%
