    WACKER is presenting two new products at Cosmetics Asia 2015: BELSIL EG 5, a silicone elastomer gel, and BELSIL OW 2100, a siloxane glycol copolymer.


    BELSIL?EG 5 is a silicone elastomer gel based on addition-cured silicone elastomers that dissolve in cyclopentadimethicone, and after application, the silicone oil in the gel evaporates, leaving only the silicone elastomer
    .
    With this feature, manufacturers can change the consistency of their formulations – greatly simplifying the product development process
    .
    The silicone rings in this product provide a pleasant skin feel and are especially suitable for formulating personal care products such as sunscreen lotions, where the cream spreads better, which is extremely important
    for sunscreens with high sun protection factor (SPF), high pigment content and thick texture.

    At the exhibition, WACKER also presented BELSIL?OW 2100
    , a copolymer containing polydimethylsiloxane and organoethylene glycol.
    It improves the supple touch and repair function of shampoos and conditioners, formulating creams that leave skin comfortable and smooth and enhance the moisturizing properties
    of the formula.
    The additive is also ideal for masks and leave-on products
    .
    It allows manufacturers to develop transparent product formulations
    .
    When formulating creams and lotions, it can also be used as an emulsifier in the production of oil-in-water emulsions
    .
