Overview
What BL-187 Is
Equivalent Brand: DOWCORING 5225C
BL-187 is a dispersion of high molecular weight silicone polyether in decamethylcyclopentasiloxane. The product is an ideal material specifically for water-in-volatile silicone formulations. As a dispersion aid for both non-polar and polar ingredients, it can make non-polar ingredients in the external silicone phase and polar ingredients in the internal aqueous phase.
Synonyms: [INCI/CTFA] Cyclomethicone (and) PEG-18/PPG-18 Dimethicone
Key benefits
Why Formulators Choose It
- Cyclomethicone and dimethicone copolyol

Application scenarios
Where BL-187 Is Used
- Add the water phase slowly to the oil phase using a high-speed mixer to enhance the stability of W/O emulsion. Increasing the viscosity by increasing the proportion of water phase.
- Stir the product before use.
- Use a homogeniser to stabilize the product further.
- Electrolytes, preferably NaCl at a level of 1-2% should be added to the water phase to ensure long-term stability.
- The emulsion can be made at ambient temperature if the formulation is free from solid ingredients.
- The recommended usage level is 4-12%.
