Product Description
Manta F1043 is a high-purity, ultra-low viscosity methyl-modified siloxane fluid. Characterized by its exceptional volatility and physiological inertness, it functions as a light carrier in personal care formulations.
Distinguished by its rapid flash-off rate, Manta F1043 evaporates quickly from the skin and hair, leaving behind an immediate sensation of freshness and an exceptionally dry, non-tacky finish. It acts as an ideal substitute for traditional volatile solvents where a more sophisticated, silky sensory profile is required. Its solvent compatibility makes it a versatile vehicle for delivering active ingredients across a wide range of cosmetic applications.
- Features an ultra-low molecular weight structure ensuring maximum spreadability and an ultra-light skin feel.
- Exhibits outstanding compatibility and miscibility with a diverse array of cosmetic solvents and organic esters.
- Features an ultra-fast evaporation profile, providing an immediate vanishing effect and a dry, refreshing sensory finish.
- Effectively reduces the greasiness of heavy organic oils and waxes in complex formulations.
Application Details
- Manta F1043 can be widely used in personal care formulations, including:
- Skin Care: Ultra-light facial serums, rapid-dry body oils, and refreshing lotions.
- Sun Care: Sunscreens and after-sun sprays (improves spreadability and reduces the drying time of high-SPF formulas).
- Color Cosmetics: Quick-dry liquid foundations, makeup primers, and long-wear lipsticks.
- Personal Care: Antiperspirants, deodorants, and light hair conditioning mists (imparts shine without residue).
- Processing: Can be used directly as a high-efficiency carrier, a primary diluent, or a sensory-improving additive.
- Emulsification: Easily incorporated into both Oil-in-Water (O/W) and Water-in-Oil (W/O) emulsion systems using standard processing techniques (add directly to the oil phase).
- Temperature Control: Due to its extremely high volatility, all processing should be conducted at room temperature or in a strictly closed vessel at lower temperatures to prevent solvent loss.
- Recommended Dosage: 1.0% – 50.0% of the total formulation, depending on the specific application and desired speed of evaporation.
