Description

INCI name: Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer

RS-9040 silicone elastomer blend is a mixture of high molecular weight silicone elastomer in cyclomethicone. Since a clear to slightly translucent gel, RS-9040 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

Benefits and Features

Ø  Reduces tackiness of formulations

Ø  Quick absorption

Ø  Cold processing

Ø  Slight sebum absorption

Ø  Clear to slightly translucent crosslinked silicone elastomer gel

Ø  Suitable for many personal care formulations Acts as a thickening agent for w/o and w/silicone oil formulations, cyclomethicones and other silicone fluids

Applications

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

Usage

Cosmethicone® SF-600 could be dispersed into the oil-phase using simple mixing. It may 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 of use, blending with dimethicone or cyclomethicone may reduceits 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℃.
