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.
