BELSIL® DM 1000000

INCI Name
Dimethicone

BELSIL® DM 1000000 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane. It is a dimethicone with a high viscosity of 1000000 mm²/s. It exhibits low surface tension and a high spreading coefficient. Its flexible polymer backbone grants it high permeability to gasses such as water vapor and oxygen. This permeability enables the skin to respire.

Application Details

High-viscous BELSIL® DM 1000000 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.
