Description

C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone/Polycyclohexene Oxide Crosspolymer is a high-performance silicone-based polymer designed for advanced formulation stability and sensory enhancement. This specialized crosspolymer provides exceptional textural control and compatibility in challenging systems, offering formulators a versatile tool for product differentiation. It is primarily utilized by developers in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-performance lubricant industries seeking to improve emulsion stability, modify rheology, and deliver unique sensory profiles.

Application

• Sensory Modifier & Emollient in Color Cosmetics: Imparts a luxurious, silky-smooth feel in foundations, primers, and lipsticks, reducing tackiness and improving spreadability.
• Stabilizing Agent for Sun Care & Water-in-Silicone Emulsions: Enhances the thermal stability and prevents phase separation in high-SPF formulations and difficult-to-stabilize emulsion systems.
• Texture Enhancer in Skincare: Used in creams, serums, and lotions to create light, non-greasy textures with excellent substantivity and film-forming properties.
• Rheology Modifier for Hair Care: Provides thickening and suspension properties in shampoos, conditioners, and styling products without compromising clarity or feel.
• Functional Additive in Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Contributes to film strength, thermal stability, and surface release properties in specialized formulations.
