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.
