XIAMETER(TM) OFX-5220 Fluid is a liquid silicone glycol copolymer. XIAMETER(TM) OFX-5220 Fluid is a resin modifier that can be used with hair fixative products such as hairsprays, mousses, setting lotions and styling gels. Resins modified with XIAMETER™ OFX-5220 Fluid demonstrate improved hold when compared to resins without the modifier, making it ideal for formulating hair styling products with strong hold. XIAMETER™ OFX-5220 Fluid also allows formulators to create resins that are softer, more flexible, and less tacky.

Oilkemia™ 5S polymer is a multifunctional oil-soluble rheology modifier. It imparts thickening, clarity, and suspension properties to a wide range of oils and oil mixtures, including vegetable-based oils, triglycerides, esters, and organic UV filters. Oilkemia™ 5S polymer is typically supplied as 30% solids in caprylic and capric triglycerides. It allows the development of various textures, from thin, non-dripping systems to lotions, creams, and solid sticks. It can also improve the sensory experience by reducing the greasy afterfeel of oils in anhydrous and emulsion systems. This rheology modifier is efficient in medium- to high polarity systems, with a typical usage level of 1.0–6.0 wt% for low- to high-viscosity oil gels.

Carbopol® Aqua SF-1 OS polymer is an acrylates copolymer and alkali-swellable rheology modifier specifically designed for skin care, sun care, and color cosmetic applications containing pigments.

BELSIL® REG 1103 B is a hydrophilic resin elastomer gel that consists of a silicone copolymer network blended with a non-volatile, low-viscosity dimethicone and a silicone polyglucoside. The inclusion of silicone polyglucoside, a nonionic surfactant with an HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) value of approximately 6-7, enables the gel to absorb water and function as a secondary emulsifier. This transparent gel offers a pleasant sensory experience, both during and after application. BELSIL® REG 1103 B serves as an effective thickener in formulations while providing a smooth application. Additionally, it demonstrates shear-thinning behavior, facilitating the easy spreading of cosmetic products during application and aiding in the incorporation of pigments into formulations.
