Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone Crosspolymer (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer (and) Dimethiconol

Introduction

SiSiB® PC16326 is a mixture of high molecular weight Dimethicone Crosspolymer (and) Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer in Cyclopentasiloxane which could be dispersed in oil phase excellently and it is a slightly translucent gel.

This 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.

Advantages

• Clear to slightly translucent crosslinked silicone elastomer gel

• Suitable for many personal care formulations

• Acts as a thickening agent for w/o and w/silicone oil formulations, cyclomethicones and other silicone fluids

• Slight sebum absorption

• Provides dry smoothness and a light silky skin feel, non-greasy

• Enhances the aesthetics of cyclomethicones

• Reduces tackiness of formulations

• Quick absorption

• Cold processing

• Compatible with organic ingredients

Physical Properties

Benefits & Applications

SiSiB® PC16326 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.

• SiSiB® PC16326 can be added to the oil phase or silicone phase in an emulsion formulation.

• SiSiB® PC16326 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 this product’s viscosity.

• The material of SiSiB® PC16326 should be processed in an enclosed vessel to prevent the cylcopentasiloxane from volatilizing when heat is used.

• The recommended processing temperature is not over 60°C.

• SiSiB® PC16326 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.
