SiSiB® PC16257 is suitable for a wide range of personal care applications, including skin care, hair care, sun care, color cosmetics, and styling formulations.
SiSiB® PC16257 can be readily dispersed into the oil phase through simple mixing. It may be incorporated into either the oil phase or the silicone phase of an emulsion. Post-addition to finished emulsions is also possible, provided that the emulsion exhibits sufficient viscosity to allow for uniform dispersion.
SiSiB® PC16257 may thicken or form lumps during storage; It can be reversed by gentle agitation to restore its original consistency. For improved handling and ease of use, it is recommended to blend the product with dimethicone or cyclomethicone to reduce its viscosity.
SiSiB® PC16257 is supplied in 20Kg pail, 200Kg drum.
In the original unopened packaging, SiSiB® PC16257 has a shelf life of 24 months in a dry and cool place at room temperature.
