Product Description
Manta A2024 is an advanced MQ-T Propyl hybrid silicone resin.
This innovative material combines the superior anchoring power of standard MQ resin with the film flexibility of Propyl-Silsesquioxane (T-resin). The propyl functional groups act as an internal plasticizer, allowing Manta A2024 to form a highly durable and water-resistant film that is significantly softer and more flexible than traditional MQ resins. It offers improved solubility in organic oils and delivers exceptionally comfortable, long-wear performance without any sensation of tightness, flaking, or cracking on the skin.
Solubility in the following solvents (silicone resin: solvent = 1:1 weight ratio)
- Functions as a flexible film-former, providing durable, wash-off-resistant, and transfer-proof performance.
- Eliminates the rigid, tight feeling of standard resins, ensuring superior comfort and a non-cracking finish.
- Exhibits outstanding compatibility with a diverse array of organic cosmetic solvents, lipids, and UV filters.
- Delivers a smooth, non-tacky tactile feel while maintaining high structural integrity in formulations.
Application Details
- Manta A2024 is an ideal high-performance flexible film-former for:
- Color Cosmetics: Long-wear liquid lipsticks, lip glosses, flexible liquid eyeliners, and transfer-proof foundations.
- Sun Care: High-SPF, wash-off-resistant sunscreens (stabilizes UV filters without stiffening the skin).
- Skin Care: Protective barrier creams and long-lasting body lotions.
- Hair Care: Humidity-resistant styling aids and color-protecting hair serums.
- Premixing: As a solid resin, Manta A2024 must be completely pre-dissolved before use. Excellent solvents include volatile cyclic silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane), low-viscosity dimethicones, or Isododecane.
- Processing: Disperse the resin powder into the chosen solvent and mix (heating to 60°C – 80°C will significantly accelerate the dissolution process) until a clear, uniform fluid is achieved. Add this premix directly into the oil phase of your formulation.
- Recommended Dosage: The recommended usage level is 2.0% – 10.0% of the total formulation, depending on the specific application and desired level of film flexibility and wear.
