LK-1083

INCI Name: PEG-10 Dimethicone

Introduction:

LK-1083 is a silicone emulsifier and dispersing agent specifically designed for dispersing fillers or pigments in silicone fluids or organic oils, ideal for use in water-in-silicone and organic oil emulsions. It’s a versatile silicone surfactant and emulsifier for personal care and cosmetic applications, widely employed to achieve even dispersion of pigments in color cosmetics, micronized particles, and inorganic materials such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) in sunscreen products.

It is effective as a viscosity modifier, enhancing the dispersion of fillers and pigments in silicone fluids and organic oils. It is formulated for development of stable water-in-silicone and organic oil emulsions. This multifunctional agent can be used as a leveling agent, and emulsifier depending on its final application.

Key Attributes:

  • Dispersing Agent: Ensures even dispersion of pigments, particles, and inorganic materials.
  • Surface Tension Reduction: Improves spreading and mixing by lowering molecular force.
  • Emulsion Stability: Maintains uniform liquid mixtures and prevents separation.
  • Formulation Compatibility: Ensures smooth ingredient interaction.
