1 of 72 products in this brand
BELSIL® REG 1102 is a resin elastomer gel composed of a silicone copolymer network combined with a non-volatile, low-viscosity dimethicone. This gel is transparent and imparts a delightful sensory experience both during and after application. BELSIL® REG 1102 serves as an effective thickener in formulations while ensuring a smooth application. Moreover, it demonstrates shear-thinning behavior, which enables the easy spreading of cosmetic products during application and facilitates the incorporation of pigments into formulations.

Application Details
  • BELSIL REG 1102 is added to the oil or silicone phase of a formulation or most preferably to an already formed emulsion. The product should be dispersed to yield optimum results, but short times of stirring are sufficient. When BELSIL® REG 1102 is diluted with solvents, the viscosity of the product decreases significantly and hence can be easily adjusted.
  • The performance properties of BELSIL® REG 1102 make it a versatile ingredient for various Skin Care, Color Cosmetic and Hair Care products. It provides a substantive hydrophobic film, making it ideal for use in sun care formulations.
  • In lipsticks and foundations, it improves transfer resistance. BELSIL® REG 1102 also imparts a cushiony feel to moisturizing creams, sunscreens lotions, eye gels, foundations, concealers and BB creams.
  • BELSIL® REG 1102 can be used to thicken the oil phase of emulsions or anhydrous cosmetic formulations. In pressed powder cosmetics it acts as binder. Other typical applications of BELSIL® REG 1102 include mascara, cleansing products, styling products, conditioners, deodorants and much more.

Processing

  • BELSIL® REG 1102 is a high viscosity material and is highly shear-thinning, so it is ease to pump with suitable equipment. Upon storage, the apparent viscosity BELSIL® REG 1102 may increase. However, the viscosity data can vary significantly depending on how the product is stirred prior to measurement.
  • WACKER recommends to thoroughly mix BELSIL® REG 1102 before any viscosity measurement. If the product is stored for an extended period of time, it should be re-mixed prior to use.

Properties

BELSIL® REG 1102 is easy to distribute on skin and gives a unique silky feel. The incorporation of a silicone resin into the elastomer structure of BELSIL® REG 1102 provides a long lasting non-tacky film, which improves the water and transfer resistance of formulations. BELSIL® REG 1102 acts as a carrier for fragrances and allows a slow release of the fragrance.
