The highly crosslinked Silmer Q12 IDD resins can be used as replacements for standard silicone crosspolymer gels which are generally low in actives, but very high in viscosity, making them difficult to use. The Silmer Q12 IDD will impart a more solid, smooth powdery feel to formulations as well as water repellence and non-transfer properties.
