SiSiB® PC16328 can be used in skin care, hair care, and other potential formulations, such as sun care, color cosmetics, and styling aid, etc.
How to use:
This product could be dispersed into the oil-phase using simple mixing.
SiSiB® PC16328 can be added to the oil phase or silicone phase in an emulsion formulation.
SiSiB® PC16328 can be post-added to emulsions provided the emulsion is viscous enough for the products to be dispersed.
For ease of use, blending with dimethicone or cyclomethicone may reduce this product's viscosity.
The material of SiSiB® PC16328 should be processed in an enclosed vessel to prevent the cylcopentasiloxane from volatilizing when heat is used.
The recommended processing temperature is not over 60°C.
SiSiB® PC16328 would become very thick or even lumpy after a period of time. This is normal and it will recovery to original state after slightly agitate.
SiSiB® PC16328 is available in 20Kg plastic drum, or 200Kg steel drum.
In the original unopened packaging, SiSiB® PC16328 has a shelf life of two years in a dry and cool place. The storage temperature range is 10°C (50°F) to 40°C (104°F).
