BELSIL DM 1000 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane characterized by low surface tension and high spreading coefficient. As BELSIL DM 1000 has a flexible polymer backbone, it has high permeability to gases like water vapor and oxygen, allowing skin respiration. BELSIL DM 1000 can be used in a broad range of formulations as an emollient. It allows formulators to adjust spreadability and conditioning effects. Whitening and stickiness of products can be reduced and skin feel can be optimized. BELSIL DM 1000 is suitable for use in formulations requiring these benefits.
