Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Data: To incorporate DOWSIL(TM) 9041 Silicone Elastomer Blend into a formula, it should be combined with the oil/silicone phase. Make certain DOWSIL(TM) 9041 Silicone Elastomer Blend is uniformly dispersed in the oil/silicone phase before proceeding. The viscosity of the DOWSIL(TM) 9041 Silicone Elastomer Blend decreases as it is diluted with other oils.

Figure 1 illustrates this effect when XIAMETER(TM) PMX-200 Silicone Fluid 5 cSt is used as the diluent. DOWSIL(TM) 9041 Silicone Elastomer Blend is a high viscosity material, but like DOWSIL(TM) 9040 Silicone Elastomer Blend, it is strongly shear thinning and can be pumped using suitable equipment. Information about suitable equipment can be found in the product information sheet for DOWSIL(TM) 9040 Silicone Elastomer Blend. Because it contains a non- volatile carrier fluid DOWSIL(TM) 9041 Silicone Elastomer Blend can be used as a binder in pressed powder cosmetics.
