- Performance Highlights
Gransil VX series is a family of polydimethysiloxane (silicone) grafted with long hydrocarbon chains, which crystallize at room temperature and form micro domains in silicone phase. Consequently, the domains function as physical crosslinking points that keep the silicone chains from "free-flowing".; By varying the domain size and concentration, Gransil VX demonstrates differentiated physical properties in appearance, viscosity and yield stress.; Gransil VX improves the speadability and forms excellent moisturizing film with non-tacky feel for cosmetic products.; In particular, Gransil VX offers excellent shine and long wear features for color makeup products, and improves pigment dispersing and adhesion on skin.
