BL-9040 silicone elastomer blend 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 excellently. 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

Features

* Suitable for many personal care formulations

* Clear to slightly translucent crosslinked silicone elastomer gel

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

Benefits

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

* Enhances the aesthetics of cyclomethicones

* Reduces tackiness of formulations

* Quick absorption

* Cold processing

* Slight sebum absorption 

Application

BL-9040 can be used in skin care, hair care, and other potential formulations, such as sun care, color cosmetics, and styling aid, etc.

Usage

* 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 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℃.

* The suggested usage level is 1%-20%.
