Overview
What BL-9040 Is
Equivalent Brand: DowCorning 9040,GE SFE-839,Wacker RG100,ShineEtsu Ksg-15
BL-9040 silicone elastomer blend 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.
Synonyms: [INCI/CTFA] Cyclopentasiloxane (and) Dimethicone Crosspolymer

Application scenarios
Where BL-9040 Is Used
- BL-9040 can be used in skin care, hair care, and other potential formulations, such as sun care, color cosmetics, and styling aid, etc.
- 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 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%.
