Product Description

Manta F1049 is a volatile polydimethylcyclosiloxane fluid consisting primarily of Cyclohexasiloxane (D6).

Distinct from lighter cyclic silicones (like D5), Manta F1049 exhibits a slower evaporation rate and slightly higher viscosity. This unique volatility profile provides extended working time, allowing formulations to be spread and massaged into the skin for a longer duration before evaporating. It functions as a premium carrier fluid that delivers a substantial, silky lubricity without the cooling sensation often associated with faster-drying volatile solvents.

Properties

  1. Composed of high-purity cyclosiloxane featuring a tailored, moderate volatility profile.
  2. Physiologically inert, non-toxic, and highly safe for topical cosmetic applications.
  3. Exhibits outstanding compatibility and miscibility with a wide range of organic cosmetic solvents and esters.
  4. Imparts a dry, non-greasy sensory feel while providing excellent conditioning properties.
  5. Ensures effortless spreadability and provides an extended working timefor formulation application and blending.

 


Application Details

Manta F1049 can be used in a variety of personal care products, including:

  1. Skin Care: Facial creams, massage creams, and body lotions (provides extended massage time without dragging).
  2. Sun Care: Sunscreens and after-sun products (improves the even distribution of active UV filters).
  3. Color Cosmetics: Liquid foundations and concealers (ensures seamless blending and a smooth finish without drying too quickly).
  4. Personal Care & Hair Care: Antiperspirants, deodorants, and hair conditioning serums.

 

How to use

  1. Processing: Can be used directly as a primary carrier, co-solvent, or sensory additive.
  2. Emulsification: When formulating aqueous systems (O/W or W/O emulsions), Manta F1049 should be incorporated into the oil phase prior to emulsification.
  3. Recommended Dosage: 1.0% – 20.0% of the total formulation, depending on the desired spreadability and evaporation rate.
