Product Description
Manta F1042 is an alkyl-modified silicone fluid designed to bridge the gap between performance silicones and organic lipids. Its unique structure combines a hydrophobic caprylyl chain with a branched trimethicone backbone.
This hybrid architecture provides dual benefits: the caprylyl group ensures superior compatibility with organic oils, esters, and sunscreens, while the branched structure imparts high luminosity and aids in the uniform deposition of active ingredients. It exhibits a semi-volatile profile (comparable to D6), acting as a lightweight carrier that effectively reduces the greasiness of heavy organic oils, leaving behind a breathable, non-tacky, and silky film.
- Low-molecular-weight organosiloxane structure ensuring superior spreadability and an ultra-light feel.
- Outstanding organic solvent compatibility, functioning as a high-efficiency co-solvent for botanical oils and esters.
- Semi-volatile profile comparable to Cyclohexasiloxane (D6), providing optimal application time and a clean dry-down.
- Delivers excellent conditioning properties and imparts a brilliant shine to hair and skin.
- Highly miscible with various cosmetic solvents, facilitating the stabilization of complex multi-phase systems.
Application Details
- Manta F1042 can be widely used in personal care products, including:
- Skin Care: Facial serums, lightweight creams, and body lotions (reduces tackiness of organic ingredients).
- Sun Care: Sunscreens and after-sun products (improves spreadability and UV filter solubility).
- Color Cosmetics: Liquid foundations, makeup primers, and long-wear lipsticks.
- Personal Care: Deodorants, antiperspirants, and hair conditioning treatments.
- Processing: Highly versatile; can be used directly as a primary carrier, a main raw material, or a functional additive to improve organic compatibility.
- Emulsification: Easily incorporated into both O/W and W/O emulsion systems using standard processing techniques (add directly to the oil phase).
- Recommended Dosage: 0.5% – 20.0% of the total formulation, depending on the desired sensory profile and compatibility requirements.
Used in: Skin Care , Sun Care , Personal Care & Body Cleansing , Antiperspirants & Deodorants
