Silform™ HyFlex emulsion is a hybrid silicone-organic acrylate in the form of a mini-emulsion.  Silform™ Hyflex delivers a film that is flexible and water resistant with excellent mechanical strength and elasticity. Those film properties make it possible to formulate comfortable long-wear foundations and smudge resistance mascaras. In styling products, such as mousses, gels, creams and sprays, Silform™ Hyflex delivers natural hold and curl definition with a unique soft feel.

SF96® 50 silicone fluids are polydimethylsiloxanes ranging from low to medium viscosity. They are available in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 350, 500 and 1000 centistokes at 25C (77F). As viscosity increases, they become substantive emollients and have different sensory profiles especially in absorbency, spreadability, smoothness, oiliness and tackiness parameters. Higher viscosity dimethicones have a greater perception of absorbency, smoothness and tackiness, but a lower perception of spreadability and oiliness.

Velvesil™ DM Silicone is a patented and unique multi-functional silicone copolymer network. Velvesil DM silicone helps deliver consumer-perceivable enhanced sensory benefits in skin care and color cosmetic formulations. It spreads easily on the skin leaving an exquisite, long-lasting silky feel.

SF96® 100 silicone fluids are polydimethylsiloxanes ranging from low to medium viscosity. They are available in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 350, 500 and 1000 centistokes at 25C (77F). As viscosity increases, they become substantive emollients and have different sensory profiles especially in absorbency, spreadability, smoothness, oiliness and tackiness parameters. Higher viscosity dimethicones have a greater perception of absorbency, smoothness and tackiness, but a lower perception of spreadability and oiliness.

Velvesil Plus gel is an easy to process and readily emulsifiable silicone crosspolymer gel. It has excellent compatibility with many organic materials and can help enhance the sensory performance of a wide range of personal care products. It is the latest addition to Momentive Performance Materials’ proprietary silicone crosspolymer gel technology.

SF96® 350 silicone fluids are polydimethylsiloxanes ranging from low to medium viscosity. They are available in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 350, 500 and 1000 centistokes at 25C (77F). As viscosity increases, they become substantive emollients and have different sensory profiles especially in absorbency, spreadability, smoothness, oiliness and tackiness parameters. Higher viscosity dimethicones have a greater perception of absorbency, smoothness and tackiness, but a lower perception of spreadability and oiliness.

Silsoft™ Q is a cationic silicone terpolymer. Its unique phase behavior with water relates to excellent lubricity in wet combing and unique softening performance benefits. This product is a very versatile candidate to consider for a broad range of hair care applications. It has also demonstrated unique sensory attributes in shower and bath products by modifying lather properties and providing a differentiated after-wash skin feel.

Silopren™ LSR 2540 is a two-component liquid silicone rubber especially developed for the coating of textiles and glassfibre fabrics.Key Features and BenefitsVulcanisates consisting of Silopren™ LSR 2540 are distinguished by the following properties: low viscosity excellent thermal stability high stability and flexibility at low temperatures good rubber-like properties long service life at dynamic stress high stability to ozone and ultraviolet light outstanding resistance to aging excellent dielectric behavior over a wide range of temperatures not readily combustible, does not melt or drip easy pigmentable with the LSR Color Pastes Potential ApplicationsBecause of the outstanding properties Silopren™ LSR 2540 is particularly suitable for the following applications: textile coating for protective suits or conveyor belts, coating of glasfibre fabric sleeves, coating of fabrics for compensators, tents and other technical applications s.o.

Tospearl™ 3000A Silicone Resin provides an exceptional feel to skin when incorporated into a variety of cosmetic formulations. Its benefits include excellent lubricity of skin lotions and lipsticks, reduction of powder agglomeration in pressed powders, good spreadability in skin creams and soft focus effects. Soft focus results in reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through the use of facial lotions and color cosmetics.
