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 to reduce its viscosity.
• When heating, the material should be processed in an enclosed vessel to prevent the Cylcopentasiloxane from volatilizing.
• The recommended processing temperature should be under 60℃.
The 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 recommended usage level is 1%-20%.
