Description
[INCI Name]: Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone/Vinyldimethicone Crosspolymer
Equivalent Product: Dow Corning 9040
Silicone Elastomer Blend TPD-9040C is a mixture of high molecular weight silicone elastomer in cyclomethicone. Since a clear to slightly translucent gel, it could be dispersed in oil phase excellently. The product may be formulated into w/o emulsions, water-in-silicone oil, and o/w emulsions and anhydrous products to provide dry smoothness and a light silky skin, non-greasy feel.
Features
- An excellent formulation aid as a dispersion for emollients, moisturisers, sunscreens and antiperspirants, etc.
- Good stability in w/o formulations
- Making w/o emulsion more clearer
Benefits
- Provides dry smoothness and a light silky skin feel , non-greasy
- Enhances the aesthetics of cyclomethicones
- Reduces tackiness of formulations
- Quick absorption
- Cold processing
- Slight sebum absorption
Technical Index
Item Typical Value
Appearance Clear to slightly translucent gel

Application
Silicone Elatomer Blend TPD-9040C can be used in skin care, hair care, and other potential formulations, such as sun care, color cosmetics, and styling aid, etc.
How to use
It can be added to the oil phase or silicone phase in an emulsion formulation.
It can be post-added to emulsions provided the emulsion is viscous enough for the products to be dispersed.
For ease of use, blending with dimethicone or cyclomethicone may reduce its viscosity.
When heat is used, the material should be processed in an enclosed vessel to prevent the cylcopentasiloxane from volatilizing.
The recommended processing temperature is not over 60℃.
The suggested usage level is 1%-20%.
