Manta E1035 is a specialized alkyl-modified, branched silicone emulsifier. It is Alkyl polyether polydimethylsiloxane. Unlike standard linear silicones, its unique branched structure and the addition of a Lauryl (C12) alkyl chain provide superior compatibility with silicone oils, organic oils, and esters.
It is designed for formulating stable Water-in-Oil (W/O) and Water-in-Silicone (W/Si) emulsions. It demonstrates excellent dispersion capabilities for powders and pigments, making it ideal for formulations with high powder content or high levels of organic UV absorbers. Additionally, low-emulsifier/high-water content formulas using Manta E1035 can achieve a unique “water release” (water-drop) effect.
Similar to Shin-Etsu KF-6038.
Properties
- Excellent Emulsification: Strong capability for both W/Si and W/O systems;
- Broad Compatibility: Good compatibility with silicone oils, organic oils, and esters due to the lipophilic alkyl chain;
- Sensory Profile: Imparts a soft, silky, and non-sticky skin feel to the final product;
- Process Efficiency: Easy to emulsify; supports cold processing (room temperature operation) if all raw materials are liquid;
- Powder Dispersion: Excellent ability to disperse powders and pigments.
