BELSIL® DM 60000 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane. It is a Dimethicone with a viscosity of 60000 mm²/s. BELSIL® DM 60000 is characterized by low surface tension and a high spreading coefficient. Due to their flexible polymer backbone, dimethicones have high permeability to gases (e.g. water vapor, oxygen), which allows respiration of the skin. Application: High-viscous BELSIL® DM 60000 is widely used in a diverse range of personal-care formulations. Dimethicones provide a hydrophobic, protective, but breathable barrier for the skin, imparting softness and emolliency. They improve the water resistance of various products, such as sun screens. Simultaneously, they prevent stickiness in skin-care as well as in color-cosmetics formulations. In hair-care products, high-viscous dimethicones are among the most commonly used conditioning additives. They improve both wet and dry combability, impart humidity resistance and a soft feel to the hair, and enhance shine. INCI name: Dimethicone Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
