DOWSIL™ 5200 Formulation Aid
Package Type:
Pail (40 lbs)
DOWSIL™ 5200 Formulation Aid is a liquid alkylmethyl silicone polyether copolymer that enables low-energy, room-temperature formulation of creams and lotions. It facilitates water-in-oil emulsions with low to medium polarity oil phase, allowing high humectant levels while maintaining good sensory profile. Products made with this aid bridge the gap between oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems, offering protection, water resistance, and elegance of water-in-oil formulations without typical greasiness and heaviness. It reduces energy costs and processing times, enabling efficient and cost-effective production.
