1 of 72 products in this brand
BELSIL® DM 500000 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane. It is a dimethicone with a viscosity of 500,000 mm²/s. BELSIL® DM 500000 is characterized by low surface tension and a high spreading coefficient. Due to its flexible polymer backbone, this dimethicone exhibits high permeability to gasses such as water vapor and oxygen, enabling the skin to breathe.

Application Details
  • High-viscous BELSIL® DM 500000 is widely used in a diverse range of personal-care formulations. Dimethicones provide a hydrophobic, protective, but breathable barrier for the skin, imparting softness and emolliency. They improve the water resistance of various products, such as sun screens.
  • Simultaneously they prevent stickiness in skin-care as well as in color-cosmetics formulations. In hair-care products, high-viscous dimethicones are among the most commonly used conditioning additives. They improve both wet and dry combability, impart humidity resistance and a soft feel to the hair, and enhance shine.
