Innovative Emulsification Technology
IOTA 99336 PEG-10 Dimethicone represents a breakthrough in silicone emulsification, offering exceptional water-in-silicone (W/Si) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion capabilities. This lipophilic polyether-modified silicone enables formulators to create:
High-water-content emulsions (up to 80%) with minimal emulsifier load
Stable systems without high-temperature processing
Lightweight textures with superior spreadability
Key Performance Advantages
✓ Cold-process compatible - Easily incorporates at room temperature
✓ Multifunctional - Functions as both primary (1-4%) and co-emulsifier (0.1-1.5%)
✓ Sensory enhancer - Delivers characteristic silky, non-greasy skin feel
✓ Versatile - Compatible with electrolytes (0.5-2% NaCl recommended)
Technical Specifications
• Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow translucent liquid
• Refractive Index (25°C): 1.4100-1.4300
• Specific Gravity: 1.00-1.05
• Viscosity: 400-1600 cSt
• Flash Point: >200°C (open cup)
Application Highlights
Skincare Innovations
Water-burst creams and serums
Lightweight moisturizers with enhanced delivery
Sun Care Solutions
Non-greasy sunscreen bases
Improved water resistance
Color Cosmetics

Formulation Guidelines
For optimal results:
Pre-mix with oil phase components
Slowly incorporate water phase under agitation
Adjust viscosity by modifying water content
Enhance stability with NaCl (0.5-2%)
Pro Tip: Combine with propylene glycol (1-3%) to boost freeze-thaw stability in water-rich systems.
This advanced silicone emulsifier opens new possibilities for creating stable, sensory-pleasing formulations across all cosmetic categories, particularly where lightweight textures and process efficiency are paramount.
