Product Description

Manta A203 is a durable film-forming agent consisting of a specialized silicone resin (MQ resin) seamlessly dispersed in volatile Cyclopentasiloxane (D5).

Engineered for advanced personal care formulations, it forms an exceptionally highly cross-linked, flexible, and breathable 3D film on the skin and hair. As the volatile D5 carrier evaporates, the resin establishes a profound, long-lasting matrix that provides outstanding wash-off resistance, zero-transfer properties, and superior water repellency. It is the absolute material of choice for developing high-performance, long-wear color cosmetics and protective skin care products.

Features

  1. Ultimate Long-Wear & Non-Transfer: Forms a highly durable, rub-resistant film that locks in pigments, making it essential for non-transfer lipsticks and long-lasting foundations.
  2. Superior Water & Sebum Resistance: Delivers robust hydrophobic properties, preventing makeup meltdown and maintaining product integrity despite sweat, sebum, or water exposure.
  3. Optimized Volatility Profile: The D5 carrier provides excellent spreadability and an optimal evaporation rate, ensuring a smooth application followed by rapid, tack-free film formation.
  4. Enhanced Gloss & Smoothness: Imparts a non-greasy, comfortable after-feel with a luminous, glossy finish on both skin and hair substrates.

Application Details

Manta A203 is widely incorporated into personal care formulations:

Color Cosmetics: Non-transfer lipsticks, long-wear liquid foundations, eyeliners, and mascaras.

Sun Care & Skin Care: Water-resistant sunscreens, protective barrier creams, and anti-aging lotions.

Hair Care: Frizz-control serums, heat-protection sprays, and hair color-retention products.

How to Use

Due to the moderate volatility of the cyclopentasiloxane carrier, it is highly recommended to incorporate Manta A203 into the formulation at temperatures below 50°C (preferably during the cool-down phase) to prevent solvent loss.

Recommended Usage Levels: Makeup & Color Cosmetics: 2.0% – 10.0%

Hair Care & Skin Care: 0.5% – 5.0%
