BELSIL® SPG 128 VP is supplied as a 20 % active solution in cyclopentasiloxane. The silicone polyglucoside contained in this solution is a nonionic surfactant with an HLB of approximately 6-7. This silicone polymer is synthesized using a renewable, sugar-based component. Silicone polyglucosides are surface-active silicone surfactants known for their mildness and gentleness. These materials are not employed as primary surfactants as they do not produce a significant amount of foam on their own. Application: BELSIL® SPG 128 VP was designed specifically as a water-in-oil or water-in-silicone emulsifier for compositions comprising volatile silicones or non-polar organic fluids as the continuous phase. Water-in-silicone formulations are noted for imparting a soft and velvety feel to the skin and for their excellent spreading properties. BELSIL® SPG 128 VP is an excellent emulsifier for water-in-oil an water-in-silicone systems in skincare, suncare an decorative cosmetics.
