SiSiB® PC16272 is suitable for a wide range of personal care applications, including skin care products, sun care products, hair care products, color cosmetics, perfumes, and antiperspirants.
It can be incorporated directly into the hot oil phase during the preparation of emulsions or creams. Homogenization is recommended to achieve uniform dispersion. Alternatively, SiSiB® PC16272 can be added directly into emulsified systems to facilitate even distribution.
SiSiB® PC16272 may exhibit increased viscosity or slight lumping after prolonged storage. This is a normal characteristic of the product and does not affect its performance. Gentle stirring will restore it to a uniform consistency.
SiSiB® PC16272 is available in 20Kg plastic pails or 200Kg steel drums.
When stored at temperatures between 10°C and 35°C in the original unopened containers, SiSiB® PC16272 has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of production.
