Shin-Etsu Silicones (booth 502) has expanded its portfolio to include materials with high naturality index, NOI. The high NOI portfolio marries the power of science with nature to offer a powerful tool for formulation chemists to create an array of textures with excellent sensorial benefits that the consumer craves, according to the company. The portfolio includes the emulsifying elastomers, KSG-840 and X-22-6695B; the non-emulsifying elastomers, USG-1011, USG-1012, KSG-44 and X-25-7055; and the film-former X-22-8365.

The emulsifying elastomers are capable to create water-in-oil emulsions with NOI up to 97% and with excellent sensorial benefits. The non-emulsifying elastomers are excellent sensorial modifiers for thickening, matte-look and blurring. The film-former offers water and oil resistance crucial for sun products and color cosmetics.
