In an effort to provide formulators with an effective, quality alternative to D5 siloxanes and D5 derivative materials, Shin-Etsu Silicones of America (U.S. subsidiary of Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd., Japan) has recently developed DM-Fluid-2cs (DMF-2), a high purity, low residual dimethicone fluid.
With properties of a low 2cs (centistokes) viscosity and near-zero (0.1) skin irritation rating, the volatile fluid, DMF-2 delivers an enhanced sensory cosmetic solution for applications ranging from foundation and makeup products to skin care, hair care and sunscreens. Due to its high purity/low residual makeup, the INCI listed DMF-2 is a preferred non-reactive delivery agent that easily rubs in and will flash off the skin over time, leaving a comfortably silky, skin feel.
The DMF-2 diluent system is also employed across Shin-Etsu’s specialty silicone product line to provide a D5 alternative delivery system for Shin-Etsu’s unique emulsifiers, elastomer products, filmformers and dispersions of UV filters.
