BELSIL® DM 10 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane. It is known for its low surface tension and high spreading coefficient. Dimethicones, like BELSIL® DM 10, have a flexible polymer backbone that enables high permeability to gasses such as water vapor and oxygen. This property allows the skin to breathe and maintain its natural respiration.

Application Details
  • BELSIL® DM 10 is widely used in a highly varied range of personal-care formulations. Formulations with BELSIL® DM 10 have better spreading properties and can be easily distributed on the skin.
  • In these formulations, it imparts a hydrophobic, protective but breathable barrier to the skin, simultaneously minimizing stickiness. It reduces whitening and imparts a soft emolliency to the skin.
