- Application Details
- BELSIL® REG 1103 B is added to the oil or silicone phase of a formulation. The product should be dispersed to yield optimum results, but short times of stirring are sufficient. When BELSIL® REG 1103 B is diluted with solvents, the viscosity of the product decreases significantly and hence can be easily adjusted.
- The performance properties of BELSIL® REG 1103 B make it a versatile ingredient for various Skin Care, Color Cosmetic and Hair Care products. BELSIL® REG 1103 B also imparts a cushiony and light skin feel to moisturizing creams, sunscreens lotions, eye gels, foundations, concealers and BB creams.
- BELSIL® REG 1103 B 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 1103 B include mascara, cleansing products, styling products, conditioners, deodorants and much more.
Processing
- BELSIL REG 1103 B is a high viscosity material and is highly shear-thinning, so it is easy to pump with suitable equipment. Upon storage, the apparent viscosity BELSIL® REG 1103 B 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 1103 B before any viscosity measurement. If the product is stored for an extended period of time, it should be homogenized prior to use.

- Properties
- This allows the gel to take up water and act as a secondary emulsifier. BELSIL® REG 1103 B is a transparent gel, which provides a very pleasant sensory property - both during application and afterwards.
- BELSIL® REG 1103 B can act as a thickener in formulations while delivering a smooth application. It also exhibits shear-thinning behavior which allows for formulation of cosmetic products that spread easily during application and facilitates the incorporation of pigments into a formulation.
- BELSIL® REG 1103 B is easy to distribute on skin and gives a unique silky feel. The incorporation of polyglucoside into the elastomer blend allows the gel to be self-emulsifying, take up water, and provide a more hydrated skin feel. BELSIL® REG 1103 B can also be utilized to give formulations a water-break effect.
