BELSIL EG 1200 is a non-emulsifying silicone gel composed of a cross-linked silicone elastomer copolymer network which has been swollen with a non-volatile, low viscosity dimethicone. BELSIL EG 1200 has a rather high viscosity but can be easily further diluted with silicone fluids or organic solvents allowing a broad flexibility when formulating products. BELSIL EG 1200 is a clear to translucent gel, which provides pleasant sensory properties. BELSIL EG 1200 can add consistency and a nice silky texture to formulations. Due to its rather high viscosity BELSIL EG 1200 can act as a thickener in formulations while delivering a smooth application. Formulations containing BELSIL EG 1200 can be spread easily during application and leave a very pleasant silky feel. In addition, BELSIL EG 1200 acts as a carrier for fragrances allowing a slow release of the fragrance.
