DOWSIL™ 8190 Oil Gellant
DOWSIL™ 8190 Oil Gellant is a 100% silicone polyamide copolymer available as white to off-white flakes. This versatile oil gellant is designed to thicken both silicone and organic oil phases, allowing for the creation of hard or soft gels. It is particularly beneficial in color cosmetics, providing rub-off resistance and enhancing texture, while also being compatible with silicone and organic ingredients. In hair care, it offers high frizz control, ease of styling, and curl retention. The product is known for its non-greasy feel compared to organic waxes and is ideal for applications requiring film-forming properties.
