| BELSIL® WO 5000 is supplied as an approximately 30 % active solution in Dimethicone. The silicone polyglucoside contained in this solution is a nonionic surfactant with an HLB of approximately 6 - 7. Properties: This silicone polymer is synthesized using a renewable, natural, sugar-based component and is therefore in part rapidly biodegradable. Silicone polyglucosides are surface-active silicone surfactants known for their mildness and gentleness. These materials are typically not employed as primary surfactants as they do not produce a significant amount of foam on their own. Application: BELSIL® WO 5000 was designed specifically as a water-in-oil or water-in-silicone emulsifier for compositions comprising volatile silicones or non-polar organic fluids as the continuous phase. Water-in-silicone formulations are noted for imparting a soft and velvety feel to the skin and for their excellent spreading properties. BELSIL® WO 5000 is an excellent emulsifier for water-in- oil and water-in-silicone systems in skincare, suncare and decorative cosmetics. INCI name: Dimethicone, Caprylyl Dimethicone Ethoxy Glucoside Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
