Formula guidelines

Typically used at a level of 1-20%.

It can be added to the oil-phase or silicone phase in an emulsion formulation.

It can be post-added to emulsions provided the emulsion is viscous enough for HM-8048 to be dispersed.

For ease of use, its viscosity can be reduced by blending with dimethicone or cyclomethicone.

When heat is used, the material should be processed in an enclosed vessel to prevent the cylcopentasiloxane from volatilizing, the vessel should be inerted at temperatures over 60°C.
