Since its inception in 1989, Siltech has been actively developing materials for use in the personal care market. During this time silicone compounds have become an increasingly important segment of products for creating innovative new technologies.

As formulations and products become more advanced, the understanding of the underlying properties of the increasing number of organo-functional silicones has become more difficult. While sophisticated silicones are used to improve various functional attributes such as wetting, foaming, conditioning, emulsification, film formation, tactile modification, gloss, dispersing and several others, selecting the correct silicones can be daunting. To address this problem Siltech has developed a system called Select-a-Sil®. It is based upon the principle that in order to be functional, silicone compounds must be Formulator Friendly®. Selecting the proper silicone for a particular formulation starts with identifying the specific attributes that are desired. Once the attributes are defined, other formulation issues such as solvent type, concentrations and interaction between ingredients need to be determined. In order to facilitate these selections, Siltech has developed a number of “kits” that allow for rapid screening of silicones by application. Specifically, kits for wetting and emulsification allow the user to quickly screen the effects of a given material in the finished formulation. Siltech offers a line of standard personal care products, along with many formulations and technical presentations. Additionally, our chemists work jointly with customers developing specific molecules and products for individual applications. We also address customer problems that can only be solved by exploring new technologies. Such cooperative agreements have proven very useful in developing many new and innovative cosmetic applications. As silicones continue to play an increasing role in the formulation of new and novel personal care products, Siltech remains committed to lead the development of unique and sophisticated products for this growing industry.
