SiSiB® PC16348 is a high molecular weight silicone crosslinked copolymer dispersed in low-viscosity polydimethylsiloxane. It offers a soft, silky, powdery feel that is non-greasy, non-sticky, with good spreadability and a light elastic finish.
When used in primers and foundations, SiSiB® PC16348 significantly improves the spreadability of the product, making makeup easier to apply, more comfortable, and more natural. It also helps absorb excess sebum, providing an oil-controlling effect that keeps makeup clean and long-lasting.
In skincare formulations, it helps reduce overall viscosity, imparts a silky, pleasant skin feel, and leaves the skin soft and smooth. In sunscreen products, it reduces greasiness and enhances the application experience and spreadability.
With a matte effect and strong water resistance, SiSiB® PC16348 helps prevent shrinkage in lipsticks and similar formulations, offering a more moisturized feel. It can also be used as a binder in powder cosmetics to improve product cohesion and wear.

SiSiB® PC16348 can be used to formulate water-in-oil, oil-in-water, and water-in-silicone systems. It is also suitable for the preparation of anhydrous products.
Common applications of SiSiB® PC16348 include:
Skin care products
Cosmetics and sunscreen formulations
Antiperspirants and deodorants
SiSiB® PC16348 silicone elastomer gel should be added to the formulation along with the oil or silicone phase. It is important to ensure that the elastomer is fully dispersed within the oil phase before further processing.
SiSiB® PC16348 is available in 20Kg or 180kg drum.
When stored in the original unopened container at or below 50°C, SiSiB® PC16348 has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of production.
