BELSIL® DM 20

BELSIL® DM 20 is a linear, non-reactive, unmodified polydimethylsiloxane. It is known for its low surface tension and high spreading coefficient. Dimethicones, including BELSIL® DM 20, possess a flexible polymer backbone that enables them to have high permeability to gasses such as water vapor and oxygen. This property allows the skin to breathe and maintain its natural respiration.

Application Details

BELSIL® DM 20 is widely used in a highly varied range of personal-care formulations. Formulations with BELSIL® DM 20 have better spreading properties and can be easily distributed on the skin. In these formulations, it imparts a hydrophobic, protective but breathable barrier to the skin, simultaneously minimizing stickiness. It reduces whitening and imparts a soft emolliency to the skin.
