Product Description

Manta F1017A is an ultra-high molecular weight Dimethiconol within a non-volatile Dimethicone matrix.

Distinct from transient cyclic-based blends, this fluid provides sustained surface interaction. The hydroxyl groups on the Dimethiconol backbone facilitate strong physical adsorption to protein substrates (such as hair keratin), creating a durable, cohesive shield. This mechanism effectively seals the hair cuticle to repair split ends while imparting a rich, substantive velvety feel to the skin that persists significantly longer than volatile alternatives.

  • Forms a highly uniform and continuous protective film with exceptional substantivity.
  • Imparts a long-lasting, moist, and silky-smooth sensory profile to hair and skin.
  • Provides superior lubricity and reduces surface friction without clogging pores.
  • Offers excellent hydrophobicity, significantly enhancing the water resistance of formulations.
  • Delivers a rich, non-greasy finish that is ideal for intensive repair and long-wear products.

Application Details

  • Hair Care: Hair serums, split-end repair treatments, and intensive conditioners.
  • Skin Care: Anti-aging creams, body lotions, and protective hand creams.
  • Color Cosmetics: Long-wear liquid foundations and makeup primers.
  • Sun Care: Water-resistant sunscreens and after-sun lotions.
  • Compatibility & Dilution: Exhibits excellent compatibility with oil-phase cosmetic raw materials, including natural lipids and fragrances. It can be diluted with cyclic silicone oils (cyclomethicone) in any proportion to adjust viscosity.
  • Thermal Stability: Manta F1017A is heat-stable and can be incorporated into the oil phase. However, it is recommended to keep the operating temperature below 85°C. To maintain optimal stability, heating time during the emulsification process should not exceed 30 minutes.
  • Recommended Dosage: 3.0% – 10.0% in skin care creams; 3.0% – 6.0% in standard hair care products; 40.0% – 50.0% in concentrated hair oils/serums.
