BENTONE GEL^® D5 V

An easy-to-process rheological additive consisting organically modified hectorite in cyclopentasiloxane

BENTONE GEL D5 V can be used in a variety of formulations. In oil-based formulas, it suspends pigments and improves application. It can be cold processed. BENTONE GEL D5 V is particularly useful in emulsions where it provides thermostable viscosity control of the oil phase; enhances skin-feel by masking greasy or tacky components; and imparts a pleasant residual silkiness to the skin. BENTONE GEL D5 V is an alternative to traditional polymer or cellulose-based thickeners for stabilising emulsions.
