SILIGEL™ GEL NETWORK CHARACTERIZATION

Siligel™ has a pseudo plastic behaviour, with a yield stress.The rheological behaviour of Siligel™ justifies its stability and suspension properties

and a nice spreadability on the skin upon application.

THIXOTROPY CURVES

Siligel™ creates a gel network, with shear thinning thixotropic behavior.Due to the weak interactions between the polysaccharides chains,

the gel can flow easily, allowing the use of pump/spray packagings.

THICKENING PROPERTIES

The viscosity increases with the concentration of Siligel™ and remains stable. The final viscosity is reached one day after production.

THICKENING POWER

MAXIMUM RESISTANCE TO SALTS

Siligel™ resists to a high amount of salts, up to 20% !!

STABILITY WITH ELECTROLYTES

(MONO AND DIVALENT SALTS)

MAXIMUM RESISTANCE TO SEAWATER

Even with Seawater, Siligel™ has a good resistance without decreasing itsgelling ability, contrary to the benchmark competitor!

MAXIMUM RESISTANCE TO IONIC ADDITIVES

The Siligel™ network is very resistant to electrolytes

SILIGEL™ PERFORMANCE

WITH DIFFERENT IONIC ADDITIVES

pH RESISTANCE

The viscosity of Siligel™ network is constant at different pH and remains stable over time

STABILITY WITH pHLow pH

- Deodorants- Self tan products (with DHA)- Face care products with AHA- Products with natural

preservative systems

High pH

- Depilatories- Hair colorations- Shaving creams

VISCOSITY WITH ETHANOL

The viscosity of the Siligel™ network is not influenced in presence of Ethanoland remains stable over time

STABILITY WITH ETHANOL

PRESERVATIVE COMPATIBILITY

Siligel™ can be used with many different preservative systems withoutimpacting its viscosity properties

Siligel™ can be used as an emulsifier in specific cases

• Siligel™ alone is able to emulsify a small amount of oil phase, depending on theconditions (equipment: high shear stress and ingredients of the formula)

• From ~10% oil phase, the quality of the emulsion is not optimal (appearance,stability)

FLOW PROPERTIES FOR GLIDING TEXTURES

RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOUR – FLOW CURVE

The shear thinning behavior of Siligel™ confers a good spreadabilitywhen applied on the skin

APPEALING SENSORY PROFILE

With only 1%,Siligel™ improves the

spreadability of formulas

and gives a very soft after-feel!

APPEALING SENSORY PROFILE

Sensory profile of an aqueous gel with 1% Siligel™ vs.an aqueous gel containing 2% silicone

Siligel™ brings both textureand amazing

silicone-like skin feel without adding silicones!

APPEALING SENSORY PROFILE

1% Siligel™ in water exceeds the sensory performance of pure silicones for both gliding and softness descriptors

HYDRATING PROPERTIES

Siligel™ reinforces the protective barrier which decreases TEWL

and therefore helps keep the skin moisturized.
