Munich, May 14, 2013 – The Munich-based WACKER Group will present novel products for the cosmetics industry at FCE Cosmetique 2013 in São Paulo, Brazil. One of the highlights is BELSIL® REG 1100. The new silicone resin elastomer gel produces long-lasting effects in cosmetic products and leaves the skin feeling exceptionally pleasant. FCE Cosmetique will be held from May 14 to 16 at São Paulo’s Transamerica Expo Center.

WACKER’s general theme at FCE Cosmetique is “Special Effects for Beauty Care”. BELSIL® REG 1100 is a good example. The new silicone resin elastomer gel combines the skin sensation produced by non-crosslinked silicone polymers with the film-forming properties of silicone resins. This combination of properties makes the gel a multifunctional active ingredient for skin-care applications and decorative cosmetic products. In addition to forming a pleasantly soft, water-repellent film that adheres well to the skin without becoming sticky, the gel also imparts a unique texture that leaves the skin feeling extraordinarily soft and silky.
Thanks to its favorable film-forming and adhesion properties, BELSIL® REG 1100 makes cosmetic formulations more water- and transfer-resistant, thus providing long wear benefits. The product helps to make lipsticks more kiss-proof, to prevent makeup from rubbing off on clothing, and to reduce the negative impact that water has on the protective effects of sunscreens. It also makes moistur-izers and night creams particularly rich, allowing their nourishing effects and excellent skin-feel properties to last a long time.

A typical gel, BELSIL® REG 1100 consists of a solid and a liquid component. The solid component – a silicone elastomer crosslinked via silicone resin segments – forms a three-dimensional network with large interstitial spaces that accommodate the liquid component, a non-volatile silicone fluid. This transparent, colorless gel is a solid when at rest, but undergoes a reversible conversion to a liquid state in response to shear stress.
Due to the shear-thinning attributes of BELSIL® REG 1100, products formulated with this material are easy to apply and spread readily over the skin. The chemical structure of the resin-crosslinked silicone elastomer used in the gel has been optimized in such a way that the gel leaves the skin feeling particularly pleasant and silky.
Hair Conditioning with Added Benefits: BELSIL® ADM 6300 E and BELSIL® ADM 8301 E
Two additional highlights at the WACKER booth are hair-conditioning agents that were launched at FCE Cosmetique last year: BELSIL® ADM 6300 E and BELSIL® ADM 8301 E. In addition to imparting a natural silky softness to hair and making it easy to comb, each of these silicone emulsions also helps to prevent color loss and to protect hair from heat damage caused by blow dryers, etc. BELSIL® ADM 6300 E is formulated as a macroemulsion and BELSIL®ADM 8301 E as a microemulsion. The active silicone ingredients in these emulsions form a stable protective film on the surface of the hair. Both emulsions are suitable for use in hair-styling and hair-care products such as rinse-off and leave-on conditioners. As a translucent microemulsion, BELSIL® ADM 8301 E allows manufacturers to formulate transparent products.
Technical Presentation at XXI COLAMIQC

WACKER will also deliver a technical presentation on its novel silicone resin elastomer gel BELSIL® REG 1100 at the XXI COLAMIQC, the Latin American and Iberian Congress of Cosmetic Chemists accompanying FCE Cosmetique. The presentation is scheduled for May 15 and will start at 10:30 a.m. in the Transamerica Expo Center.
