- Silicone Modified Polynorbornene is a film former in which silicone groups are introduced into polynorbornene, a very hard polymer. It is dissolved in volatile silicone fluids and exhibits strong film-forming properties and high adhesion. The resulting film combines hardness and flexibility, giving cosmetic films water resistance, abrasion resistance, and excellent oil repellency.
- Silicone Modified Pullulan is a film former obtained by introducing silicone groups into the water-soluble polysaccharide pullulan. It is dissolved in volatile silicone fluids, and the resulting film has both hardness and flexibility, giving cosmetic films water resistance, abrasion resistance, and excellent oil repellency.
- Silicone Acrylates are graft polymers consisting of acrylic polymers and dimethylpolysiloxane. They are dissolved in volatile silicone fluids, and the resulting film is flexible and highly adhesive, giving cosmetic films water resistance, sebum resistance, and abrasion resistance.
- Trimethylsiloxysilicates are film formers for partially crosslinked silicone compounds. They are dissolved in volatile silicone fluids and form films with high water repellency, giving cosmetic films water resistance and sebum resistance.
We offer a wide range of products with different film hardness and solvents.
KP-545
KP-545
A cyclopentasiloxane solution of a graft copolymer consisting of acrylic polymer and dimethylpolysiloxane. Evaporation of volatile components forms a film with excellent water resistance, oil resistance, abrasion resistance, oxygen permeability, and lasting cosmetic effect. The film-forming agent (acrylates/dimethicone) copolymer has the characteristics of both acrylic resin and silicone.
KP-549
KP-549
A volatile dimethicone solution of a graft copolymer consisting of acrylic polymer and dimethylpolysiloxane. Evaporation of the volatile components forms a film with excellent water resistance, oil resistance, abrasion resistance, oxygen permeability, and cosmetic effect retention. The film-forming agent (acrylates/dimethicone) copolymer has the characteristics of both acrylic resin and silicone.
KP-545L
KP-545L
A volatile dimethicone solution of a graft copolymer consisting of acrylic polymer and dimethylpolysiloxane. Evaporation of the volatile components forms a film with excellent water resistance, oil resistance, abrasion resistance, oxygen permeability, and lasting cosmetic effect. The film-forming agent (acrylates/dimethicone) copolymer has the characteristics of both acrylic resin and silicone.
KP-550
KP-550
An isododecane solution of a graft copolymer consisting of acrylic polymer and dimethylpolysiloxane. Evaporation of volatile components forms a film with excellent water resistance, oil resistance, abrasion resistance, oxygen permeability, and lasting cosmetic effect. The film-forming agent (acrylates/dimethicone) copolymer has the characteristics of both acrylic resin and silicone.
KP-543
KP-543
A butyl acetate solution of a graft copolymer consisting of acrylic polymer and dimethylpolysiloxane. Evaporation of volatile components forms a film with excellent water resistance, oil resistance, scrub resistance, oxygen permeability, and lasting cosmetic effect. The film-forming agent (acrylates/dimethicone) copolymer has the characteristics of both acrylic resin and silicone.
