Product Description

Manta W330 is a water-soluble silicone wax. It chemically grafts hydrophilic polyether chains (PEG) onto a polydimethylsiloxane backbone, resulting in a copolymer that combines the typical slip of silicone with excellent water solubility.

Unlike standard liquid dimethicone copolyols, Manta W330 is supplied as a soft waxy solid (or semi-solid) that melts upon contact with warm water or skin. It functions as a potent non-ionic surfactant and wetting agent, significantly reducing surface tension. It acts as a bridge between hydrophobic and hydrophilic phases, providing excellent compatibility in polar formulations while delivering a breathable, non-tacky humectancy.

  • 100% water-soluble silicone wax;
  • Exhibits surfactant properties;
  • Good compatibility with polar raw materials in cosmetics;
  • Excellent foam stability;
  • Good wettability, spreadability, softness, and moisturizing properties;
  • Excellent gloss durability;
  • Acts as an emollient and co-emulsifier.

Application Details

  • Manta W330 can be widely used in personal care products:
  • The recommended usage level of the product is 1%-5% (Based on total recipe).
  • It is suitable for makeup, skin care, and hair care products, exhibiting excellent compatibility with formulation ingredients;
  • Being completely water-soluble, it significantly improves the wettability and spreadability of creams, cleansing products, antiperspirants, and deodorants;
  • It can be used in body washes and shampoos to enhance foam volume and stability, soften skin and hair, and reduce the greasy after-feel typical of surfactant-based cleansers;
  • It improves the overall moisturizing properties and softness of the final formulation.

Used in: Personal Care & Body Cleansing , Antiperspirants & Deodorants
