Functions and applications

Main function: An alternative to Dimethicone, maintaining performance and chemical and sensory properties.

Applications: Hair products and skin care products.

Product functions: Film formation, shine, spreadability, lubricity, glide, and a smooth, velvety feel.

Processing instructions: Maximum recommended heating temperature is up to 60°C. In environments above 45°C, Silike 60.000 may change from light yellow to amber-yellow; this change does not affect the product's characteristics and benefits. Prolonged heating is not recommended. The product may have a whitish physical appearance due to microbubbles of air resulting from agitation in the industrial process. Due to its high viscosity, these bubbles tend to dissipate slowly after packaging; they do not affect the quality of the final product and tend to dissipate during handling with the addition of other ingredients. A photo is attached in the technical bulletin.
