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%
