BELSIL RG 100 is an organosiloxane polymer dispersed in cyclopentasiloxane that functions as a thickener. It is a semitransparent gel that delivers smooth applications. Under shear stress BELSIL RG 100 thins and allows easy incorporation of ingredients like pigments. BELSIL RG 100 is easy to distribute and gives a nice, non-greasy, silky feel. Evaporation of the volatile silicones leave a non-tacky film, which improves the water resistance of formulations. BELSIL RG 100 provides a substantive hydrophobic film, making it ideal for use in formulations. It improves transfer resistance and can add a cushiony feel. BELSIL RG 100 makes applications easier by adding lubricity and can be used to thicken the oil phase or anhydrous formulations.
