SilForm™ Silicone Additives Deliver Long-Lasting Comfort and Shine

Momentive’s SilForm™ fluids can help achieve a highly beneficial combination of comfort and long-lasting reliability. From water-in-oil emulsifiers produced without the use of ethylene oxide and with excellent hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance, to highly flexible silicone film formers that can enable long-lasting comfort, SilForm™ fluids can add silky smoothness to cosmetics and hair care products. SilForm™ fluids also can provide superior resistance to water, oil and color transfer in the products they enhance.

SilForm™ fluids help products to form a highly flexible film that mimics the movement of skin for a comfortable, nontightening feel. With their hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance and excellent shear-thinning properties, SilForm™ products can add aesthetically pleasing textures and silky-soft skin feel. They also help impart water and oil resistance, which can extend the wear of beauty products. Additionally, SilForm™ fluids can help provide:

• Transfer resistance
• Shine and moisturization in color cosmetics formulations
• Anti-frizz and shine benefits to hair care products
• Longer retention of fragrance on hair

Our customers have used SilForm™ products to enhance their creams and lotions, sun care products, antiperspirants, color cosmetic products, anti-aging products, and hair care and styling products.
