In the process of continuous upgrading of skincare products, sun protection products and makeup products towards a refreshing texture, long-lasting touch and stable formula, multi-functional basic raw materials with thickening, texture adjustment and long-lasting moisturizing functions are becoming an important direction for the innovation of personal care product formulas. The product 9600B of our company, an organic silicone elastomer silicone gel, has an INCI name of polydimethylsiloxane (and) polydimethylsiloxane/vinyl polydimethylsiloxane cross-linked polymer. As a high-content organic silicone elastomer gel, with its non-volatile dimethylsiloxane formula characteristics, high organic silicone elastomer content and process flexibility that can be heated or cooled, it shows significant application value in oil-in-water emulsions, creams and water-free products, providing a high-performance basic raw material choice for cosmetic formula design.


I. Core Structural Characteristics and Physical Properties of the Product


Product organic silicone elastomer silicone gel 9600B is a colorless to slightly yellow transparent to semi-transparent paste. The non-volatile content is greater than 70%, the penetration is 230 to 430 (0.1 millimeters), and the viscosity is 250,000 to 580,000 centipoises at 25 degrees Celsius. This product is a silicone gel obtained by cross-linking polymerization of dimethylsiloxane and vinyl dimethylsiloxane with low-viscosity dimethylsiloxane. Due to the presence of up to approximately 20% organic silicone elastomer, the product will slightly thicken after long-term storage, but this does not affect its use.


II. Core Performance Advantages and Formula Value


Product organic silicone elastomer silicone gel 9600B exhibits the following core performance advantages in personal care product formulas:


It contains low-viscosity dimethylsiloxane instead of cyclic dimethylsiloxane. Unlike similar products with cyclic siloxane as the dispersion medium, this product uses low-viscosity straight-chain dimethylsiloxane as the carrier. This design makes the product more in line with the increasingly strict cosmetic regulations, especially suitable for formulation systems that claim "no cyclic silicon".


It can be used as a thickening agent in W/O systems. In the oil-in-water emulsion system, this product can effectively increase the viscosity of the system, improve the texture and stability of the product, and reduce stratification and sedimentation problems.


It can be heated or cooled for processing. The product has flexible processing adaptability, which can be dispersed in the oil phase under heating conditions or used in the cold-mixing process, providing greater process selection space for formulation engineers.


III. Main Application Areas and Recommended Dosages


Product organic silicone elastomer silicone gel 9600B can play an important role in the following personal care product application areas:


1. Skincare products. In moisturizing creams, oil-control lotions, essences and sunscreen products, the product can provide a refreshing texture and long-lasting smooth touch, enhancing the comfort of the product.


2. Makeup products. In foundation liquids, BB creams, primer creams and makeup primers, the product can improve the adherence and smooth texture of the makeup, helping to soften fine lines and pores.


3. W/O systems and water-free products. This product is particularly suitable for oil-in-water emulsions and various water-free formulations, effectively increasing the viscosity of the system and improving the smoothness of application. The recommended dosage is 1% to 30% of the total formula.


4. Usage Method and Process Suggestions


When preparing emulsions or creams, you can directly add it to the oil phase and heat it. It is recommended to use a homogenizer to ensure that the material is fully dispersed. If the product can be dispersed evenly, it can also be added after preparing the emulsion. This product will slightly thicken after long-term storage, and through appropriate stirring or homogenization treatment, it can be restored to normal, which is a normal physical phenomenon and does not affect the product performance.


5. Packaging Specifications and Storage Conditions


Product organic silicone elastomer silicone gel 9600B is packaged in 20-kilogram plastic drums or 200-kilogram iron drums. This product is not a hazardous item. During transportation and storage, it is necessary to prevent moisture and prevent the mixing of acidic or alkaline impurities. The container should be strictly sealed after each use. The validity period of this product is one year under sealed and room temperature conditions.


VI. Quality Assurance and Application Value


During the production process, the product organic silicone elastomer silicone gel 9600B has established a strict quality control system. Key indicators such as product appearance, non-volatile content, penetration, and viscosity are tested throughout the process to ensure consistency and reliability between batches. As the skincare, sunscreen, and makeup industries continue to develop towards non-ring silicon formulations, long-lasting skin sensation, and formulation stability, this product, with its high content of organic silicone elastomer, provides a long-lasting smooth touch, the regulatory-friendly characteristics of non-volatile straight-chain silicone oil carriers, and the flexibility of heating and cooling process adaptability, is becoming an important basic raw material option in the development of W/O system creams, non-ring silicon formulations, and high-end makeup products. It provides strong raw material support for promoting product innovation and formula upgrading in personal care products.
