Momentive Performance Materials today introduced its new Silsoft
silicone gel, an innovative, competitively priced silicone gel with
outstanding sensory performance. Silsoft silicone gel is an excellent
choice to consider for formulators who are targeting the growing
demand for valued-priced color cosmetics and skin care products that
deliver performance benefits comparable to high-end products.
"Silsoft silicone gel offers an outstanding value proposition for
companies that are developing color cosmetics and skin care products
to sell in the world´s fastest growing economies," said Beatriz
Blanco, global marketing manager, Momentive. "Silsoft silicone gel
delivers outstanding sensory performance, offers enhanced
compatibility with organic materials such as UV filters and does not
have the "balling" effect associated with traditional elastomers.
Silsoft silicone gel is also an excellent choice for competitively
priced personal products offered in mature economies."
Silsoft silicone gel is the latest addition to Momentive´s
extensive line of sensory enhancing silicone products. Silsoft
silicone gel, a crystal clear gel, spreads easily leaving a silky feel
on the skin. Silsoft silicone gel is cold processable and can
withstand high shear. The performance benefits of Silsoft silicone gel
may enhance a wide range of products including foundations, skin care
creams and lotions, anhydrous serums and sunscreens. Hair care
products may also benefit from the use of Silsoft silicone gel.
