Silike 350

Silike 350 It is an alternative to Dimethicone, maintaining similar performance, physicochemical characteristics, and sensory properties.

Benefits

Film formation, gloss, spreadability, lubricity, glide, and a smooth, velvety feel. The selection of this grade is primarily distinguished by the conventional reference and the documented viscosity range.

Where to apply

Hair products, skin care products.
