Manta F1048 is a volatile carrier fluid composed of Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) and Cyclohexasiloxane (D6).
Unlike lighter volatile blends, Manta F1048 is engineered to provide an extended evaporation profile. The inclusion of the larger Cyclohexasiloxane molecule slows down the volatilization process, granting the formulation a longer working time. This allows for extended spreading and massaging of creams and oils before the product dries down. It delivers a substantive, silky-soft skin feel that is richer than pure D5 but without the greasiness or occlusion of non-volatile dimethicones.
Properties
- Composed of a highly refined cyclosiloxane blend (D5/D6) featuring a tailored, extended evaporation profile.
- Physiologically inert, non-toxic, and highly safe for topical cosmetic applications.
- Exhibits outstanding compatibility and miscibility with a wide range of organic cosmetic solvents and esters.
- Imparts a dry, non-greasy sensory feel while providing excellent conditioning properties.
- Ensures effortless spreadability and provides an extended “play time” for formulation application and blending.
